Meet Our Future Economic Leaders!

Dalton Macroeconomics students recently engaged in an impressive, in-depth exploration of pressing economic issues.
Over the past trimester, these students have researched different nations and their specific macroeconomic issues. Individually and in partnerships, they created provocative case studies to guide future economics students as they develop both their fluency in the language of economics and their skills in applying the tools of economic analysis.

Students offered their insights in the form of videos, podcasts, blogs, and essays, modeling the thoughtful question-asking that is our goal for all Dalton students. (In fact, our ShortTakes@Lunch event with John Lipsky helped inform student work that came out of this final project! John was also gracious enough to provide one-on-one guidance with students as they perfected their case study.)

Examples of these impressive case studies include: 

  • Economic Impact of Women in the Greater Middle East: A Case Study on Pakistan and Egypt
  • Economic Dependence on Natural Resources: A Blessing or a Curse? A Case Study of Botswana’s Diamonds and Nigeria’s Oil
  • The Economics of Reunification: Examining the Consequences of the German Currency Union 
  • The GameStop Frenzy
  • Wah Gwaan: Growth, the Informal Economy, and Policy in Jamaica
  • Artificial Intelligence: Innovation, Automation, and the Future of Labor
  • The COVID Pandemic and Unemployment.  
  • Russia's Economic Stagnation
  • Keiretsu and Chaebol: The Economic Titans of Asia
