Mississippi Economic
Challenge
T uesday, March 25, 2008Jackson, MS
What is it? The Mississippi Economics Challenge, sponsored by the Mississippi Council on Economic Education and made possible through funding by the National Council on Economic Education and the Goldman Sachs Foundation is a state competition for high school students designed to increase their understanding of and interest in economics and finance. Students compete in teams for a chance to win prizes and a trip to New York City to compete in the national finals.
Who is it for? High school students from around the state have the opportunity to compete in state, regional, and national level competitions.
How does it work? Teams consisting of four high school students will convene in Jackson, MS on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 for the State Competition. Schools may enter multiple teams. There are two divisions in which teams compete: David Ricardo Division (Introductory) and the Adam Smith Division (Advanced). There is no entry fee for the teams.The competition is set up with the first three rounds (Macro, Micro and International) consisting of multiple-choice, paper-pencil tests. The student with the top individual score of Round I and Round II in each division will be named “Economics Student of the Year.” Following Round III, the top two teams in each division compete in Round IV, a fast-answer, quiz-bowl type challenge. For this round, previous scores are erased and the winner takes all, including an all-expense paid trip to the regional competition in Minneapolis in April 2007.
