The Economics Summer School will give students aged 15-18 the opportunity to study a range of economics which is wider than that available at school and in a style which encourages active and critical engagement. As well as gaining a good grasp of abstract positions, students will have the opportunity to engage directly with a number of particularly interesting problems within contemporary economics, including the regulation of the stock, bond and foreign exchange markets, currency trading, competing models of economic growth, the economic rationale for free trade and public policy options for the redistribution of wealth and income.
