Students Discover Economics in Its Natural State
NY Times: Interesting article by Robert H. Frank on a introductory economics student assignment "to use a principle, or principles, discussed in the course to pose and answer an interesting question about some pattern of events or behavior that you personally have observed."
Why? "The initiative was inspired by the discovery that there is no better way to master an idea than to write about it."
