Economics For Life
What should go into the only economics course most students will ever take?
Over 80% of principles students never take another economics course. Our approach focuses on improved, lasting outcomes for the “one and done” market. Economics for Life reframes principles of economics as a guide to smart choices, equipping students with a mental framework to make smart choices as consumers, business people, investors and engaged citizens.
What about students who go on to major in economics?
A recent American Economic Review study compares the performance in intermediate micro/macro theory courses of students in traditional principles courses with students in economic literacy courses using Economics for Life. The results? An 11-year dataset with over 13,000 University of Toronto students shows no significant differences in grades in intermediate theory!
