Because the possibilities with Economics are endless! Initially I was set on Economics, but at the same time could not abandon a love for Politics. For some reason I set my mind on PPE, mostly because I took SL Maths and the requirement for Economics was Maths at HL. In the end, it's a decision I will never regret because it's allowed me to miss out on much of the dirty work involved with Economics.
Economics is something you can observe around you. Living in a house with eight students made me comprehend the underprovision of public goods with a vengeance. Public Choice and Political Economy are very real issues, and the field is still fresh. Models of public goods provisions are very new, with the emergence of global public goods. (Taylor and Ward, Schelling, etc.) If you have time, read a paper called "Hockey helmets, concealed weapons and daylight saving: a study of binary choices with externalities." It never occured to me that hockey helmets could be modeled as prisoner's dilemna.
And one of the best reasons, you don't constrain yourself with an Economics degree. You can set your heart on naive thinking that you can change the world for better and once you become disullusioned, jump ship, and start a career in finance.
