What is the Economics World Cup?
What makes the Economics World Cup different?
Admissions officers are not impressed by most economics competitions because they do not recognize the thinking skills required to have an real economist's mindset. The 3 common challenges are:
1. They only test rote textbook knowledge, not economic principles.
As a result, the winners are only those who memorize their textbooks, not those who can truly apply economic principles in real-world contexts.
2. The participants spend weeks preparing for the exam, only to forget everything after the competition.
Which is an utter waste of time!
3. The are very expensive to attend, which is why only the rich and connected have the opportunity to join.
The EWC resolves these issues and is designed to test an economist's mindset, not rote knowledge:
