Depends on the masters in economics. You should read the description and requirements before applying anywhere. Look for a place you'd like to be in and download their brochures and so on. I would say you definitely need to dominate arithmetic, exponents, logarithms, simple polinomials, and that kind of thing even for the less technical programs, where it's not at all usefull that know real analysis or measure theory or higher algebra.
On the other hand you'd be generally well prepared for most programs if you know calculus (understand first and second derivatives and the use of them to locate maxima and minima of functions), algebra (can factor a square polynomial, can divide the nth root of sothing by the mth root fo that same thing), probability (understand sampling, expectations, conditional expectations, means, medians, standard deviations and hypothesis testing)
Also, in terms of general math advice, you should stick to applied math subjects, like calculus, optimization, statistics and dynamic systems, and practice using these as ways to express models of reality.

well if your in econ and you complete your degree requirements then you can go to masters. but i would suggest that you take calculus 2 and stats 2 or the second level of each depending on how your school codes them it will help you out a lot when you get into the masters stuff and if you can take a world econ course, and additional macro, and a selling or management course that would help as well.

Other than the basic algebra, trigonometry and statistics, there's calculus and mathematical economics. Oh, there is also elementary accounting.
