Közgazdaságtanban

Közgazdaságtanban is the locative form of the Hungarian noun közgazdaságtan (economics). It means “in economics” or “within the field of economics” and is formed by adding the locative suffix -ban/-ben to the base word. The term is used to indicate the domain, scope, or context in which a statement, analysis, or discussion takes place.

In Hungarian academic and analytic writing, közgazdaságtanban serves to frame arguments, specify the disciplinary perspective, or denote the area of study under consideration. It can introduce sections of a text, emphasize that a claim pertains to economic theory or practice, and link observations to economic methods such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, or econometrics. The form is commonly found in sentences like “Közgazdaságtanban a kereslet és kínálat kapcsolata…,” meaning “In economics, the relationship between demand and supply…,” or in more general phrases such as “közgazdaságtanban vizsgált problémák,” “problems examined in economics.”

Közgazdaságtanban is not an independent subject itself; rather, it marks the field of study. The corresponding adjective form is közgazdaságtani, as in közgazdaságtani megközelítés (an economic- theory approach). The locative phrase can appear in titles, headings, or within continuous text, and its capitalization follows standard Hungarian rules: it is typically lowercase unless used at the start of a sentence or in a title.
