 \n

Christian Gollier
\nFounder and former director of the Toulouse School of Economics, and Core Economics website teacher\n

\u201cThe Core Economics website Project is the best innovation in economic education that I have seen in my career. A smorgasbord of ideas that refresh our old concepts, moving our standard discourse from dismal to light, from a dehumanized science to a spirited vision of the world.\u201d\n

Nikolaus Wolf
\nProfessor of Economics at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany, and Core Economics website teacher
\n\u201cCore Economics website is a brilliant way to introduce students to economics: it combines state of the art economic theory with a big-picture perspective on modern development; and it does it using a variety of new teaching tools that students love.\u201d\n

Andy Haldane
\nChief Economist and Executive Director, Monetary Analysis and Statistics at the Bank of England\n

“I\u2019ve been aware of the Core Economics website Project since the get-go. I was at the launch in 2013 because at that time it absolutely was needed. It has fulfilled that promise. It has been fantastic to see the vision turn into something real.
\nYou couldn\u2019t wish for more from the project as a way of resetting the clock on the curriculum. It has engaged students with the principles that make the economy interesting,\u00a0tackling issues that we know matter most, like financial crises, inequality, the climate crisis. These are front and centre in Core Economics website\u2019s work. This type of thinking is also front and centre of what we are trying to do.
\nFinally it is interested in reaching wider audiences, not just those studying economics. I think it\u2019s absolutely the right direction of travel, and the desire to develop those skills for non-economists and well as economists is absolutely the direction that we\u2019re also taking at the Bank. All of that counts as a huge success story.”\n

Stefan Gitman
\nSecond year student at University College London\n

“Unlike other textbooks, it really addresses the key questions students are interested in so we can explain historic and current events, using past crises, for example, to show how the concepts and models you learn can be used to analyse what\u2019s happening in the real world. No other course is discussed as widely by students outside of lectures. Core Economics website makes studying economics exciting.”\n

 \n

\u201cRecent advances in theory, economic history and quantitative methods have provided tools to address pressing issues of inequality of opportunity, financial instability and climate change\u2026This is a great time to be an economist. It is time we made it a golden age for students of economics.\u201d
\nWendy Carlin, writing in the Financial Times\n

\u201cA bold revamp of how economics is taught at universities across the world is increasing students\u2019 enthusiasm for their discipline as well as their grades.\u201d
