Salemi, Michael K.; Eubanks, Carlie
Journal of Economic Education, v27 n4 p350-61 Fall 1996
Notes that economics is often the second choice of students screened out of an undergraduate business program. Argues that the increased enrollment in business programs during the 1980s led to a transient rise in economics enrollment. Current declining enrollment in economics corresponds to a decline in business. (MJP)
