This book looks at a number of topics in economic education,
presenting multiple perspectives from those in the field to anyone
interested in teaching economics. Using anecdotes, classroom
experiments and surveys, the contributing authors show that, with
some different or new techniques, teaching economics can be more
engaging for students and help them better retain what they
learned. Chapters cover a wide range of approaches to teaching
economics, from interactive approaches such as utilizing video
games and Econ Beats, to more rigorous examinations of government
policies, market outcomes and exploring case studies from specific
courses. Many of the chapters incorporate game theory and provide
worked out examples of games designed to help students with
intuitive retention of the material, and these games can be
replicated in any economics classroom. While the exercises are
geared towards college-level economics students, instructors can
draw inspiration for course lectures from the various approaches
taken here and utilize them at any level of teaching. This book
will be very useful to instructors in economics interested in
bringing innovative teaching methods into the classroom.
