Case Studies on Location: Taking to the Field in Economics

Mark Griffin Smith

The Journal of Economic Education, 2007, vol. 38, issue 3, 308-317

Abstract: The author describes how to conceptualize and organize a successful, multi-day field trip organized around a case study problem. By doing so, the instructor exposes students to diverse perspectives and leads them through the process of policy analysis from collecting and organizing information to identifying the relevant economic concepts and applying them in a complex real-world setting.
