I was also very interested in economics as a discipline, specifically in relation to psychology (behavioural economics). I know that some universities offer this degree as a masters however I only know of 1 that offers it as an undergrad. I wonder if this "sub-discipline" will continue to develop and eventually become its own, especially now that interdisciplinary degrees are becoming more and more popular in the modern world. I also wonder what would have to happen for it to be officially considered a discipline? Or do you think it is already considered one?
 * In my opinion behavioural economics is definitely one of the 'sub-disciplines' on the surge. I think there has been a rise in the numbers of academic articles published that links psychology with economics, and given its possible application in many future solutions (think big data advertising, AI education, automated finance) I do agree that it will eventually be a discipline itself. This advancement in status will perhaps be indicated by the foundation of academic societies, wide representation in undergraduate and graduate degrees, or even the publishing of a piece of groundbreaking, discipline-defining academic writing.

Economics in the 3rd sentence is capitalized - but not elsewhere. I was wondering as to why it would be capitalised in the context "economics as a discipline" - are you referring to the study of economics or more to a particular Departement of Economics - I'm not sure what the right solution is so I thought I'd bring it up Uclqdeb (discuss • contribs) 09:33, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that is just a typo on my part, but it is surely interesting to think about capitalising the first letter of names of disciplines to indicate their status as a widely recognized discipline/school of study of their own.

I added a little bit on the interdisciplinary application of economics with demography - I hope you don't mind! If so, feel free to remove the section. I also added hyperlinks for some concepts or actors within the discipline as I thought they might be of importance for readers - I hope that was appropriate.
