What is the specific difference between international economy and trade economy and finance? Please explain! Which subject is better than Jinan University?

In a broader sense, international economy, trade and finance belong to the field of economic research and are a new branch of economics derived from the basic theoretical research of economics.

The biggest difference is that economics major belongs to the category of theoretical economics, and it focuses more on the theoretical research of overall economic activities; Finance and international trade belong to the category of applied economics, focusing more on the practice and application of currency circulation and international exchange commodity circulation.

The major of general economics seen in universities mainly focuses on academic research and covers a wide range, so it is generally not aimed at specific and practical economic disciplines. Finance is the study of economic activities in the financial currency circulation market, such as futures, stocks, bonds, insurance, bank venture capital, etc. The contents of finance can be summarized as the issuance and withdrawal of money, the absorption and payment of deposits, the issuance and recovery of loans, the trading of gold, silver and foreign exchange, the issuance and transfer of securities, insurance, trust and domestic and foreign currency settlement. International trade refers to the exchange of goods and services between different countries (and/or regions), which consists of import trade and export trade, so it is sometimes called import and export trade.

From another point of view, international trade and finance originated from economics, but now it has been relatively independent from economics and has a relatively systematic research method. For example, finance, characterized by the rational behavior of micro-subjects, has created a unique research method in economics, which is easier to realize in the market.

From the perspective of employment flow, financial employment mainly includes banks, securities companies, financial leasing, foreign exchange and so on. The employment of international economy and trade majors is mainly for various import and export trading companies and other institutions. The employment field of economics is wider, focusing on economics teaching and scientific research.

It is generally believed that economics is miscellaneous but not refined. If you want to make a difference, you'd better be professional. After all, economics is too general and theoretical, while finance and international trade are more realistic and direct. You know, many things can't be just theory, and economics is the same. Most people who study economics are researchers.

As far as Jinan University is concerned, its finance is relatively good, and it once ranked sixth in the country. In addition, judging from the campus recruitment of domestic financial institutions, in Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta region, its financial aspects are not lost to Sun Yat-sen University.
