Spotlight! EconEd Highlight Reel
Alex Tabarrok on teaching the Solow Model in Principles
The Solow Model is a very important model for understanding economic growth. But students in introductory economics courses often miss out on this vital theory, leading to significant gaps in their grasp of economic growth. In this session, Alex Tabarrok will discuss how to incorporate the Solow Model into principles classes, a method also reflected in his textbook "Modern Principles of Macroeconomics," co-authored with Tyler Cowen. The Solow model can be made accessible to principles students and fun to teach by focusing on the key ideas. Attendees will learn strategies for effectively conveying the Solow Model to introductory students, ensuring a deeper and more relevant understanding of the dynamics of economic growth.
