Reflections on Introductory Course Structures

In: Educating Economists

  • Paul W. Grimes

Abstract

The economics major is a central part of a college education. But is that economics major doing what it is meant to do? And if not, how should it be changed? This book raises a set of provocative questions that encourage readers to look at the economics major in a different light than it is typically considered and provides a series of recommendations for change.
