If applying for 2 courses, you'll almost certainly be rejected for one, and be considered for the other. Also, it is generally difficult to write a personal statement for two different degrees, and the general perception is that the admission tutors feel you aren't passionate enough for either of the degrees; could be potentially harmful. I'd say concentrate on applying for one of the two and write a flawless Personal statement for only one.
Good luck!

What exactly are you planning on saying? I was in a very similar situation, but my "additional statement" was used to explain why I had now decided on Ec&EcH over Econ, I imagine finding a good reason for applying for both would be difficult.
