What Economics Majors Think of the Economics Major

Steven Jones, Eric Hoest, Richie Fuld, David Colander and Mahesh Dahal

Chapter 22 in Educating Economists, 2009 from Edward Elgar Publishing

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.
