How to use economics in a sentence?

1. President Anote Tong:

   The use of coal is simply bad economics, unless one refuses to count as a cost the damages and deaths now and in the future from air pollution and climate change.

2. Liran Lublin:

   If economics justify it, then the politicians will have to talk and work things out.

3. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock:

A continued shift toward mobility has been a primary inhibitor for this form factor, but options and economics play a large role as well.

5. Erskine Bowles:

   Sir Howard is among the finest directors I've ever served with, his understanding of global economics, risk, and their impact on global financial institutions is invaluable. He also brings a wonderful wit that can lighten a moment in just the right manner.
