It’s time to update our macro syllabi, so get the book, get inspired, and let’s reshape how we teach (macro)economics!!

#TeachEcon #EconSky

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 10: Dr Dean Garratt (Aston Business School) draws on his experience as academic and professional economist, he introduces a "professional practitioner" approach to assessment and teaching.

1 1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 9: I show how to design problem sets for creating dynamic learning environments, using newspapers articles and economic reports (@unisouthampton.bsky.social).

1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 8: @paramachaudhury.bsky.social and @cloda.bsky.social (@ctale.bsky.social) use active learning strategies for large, heterogenous cohorts. By leveraging students’ prior knowledge, interests, & experiences, they create opportunities for sharing perspectives and critically evaluating ideas.

1 1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 7: Cecilia Lanata-Briones (Department of Economics, University of Warwick) provides ways to integrate historical content without transforming macroeconomics modules into dedicated history courses.

1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 6: Alastair Smith (ATLA Community) proposes a novel pedagogical approach of “co-creative destruction” to embed environmental sustainability in the macroeconomics curriculum. Smith challenges the traditional view of the macroeconomy as a bounded system solely comprised of human-created components.

1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 5: Alex Karalis Isaac ( @warwickecon.bsky.social) proposes a more engaging approach to teaching economic growth, engaging in conversations about the role of institutions, geography, and history in shaping global development and growth.

1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 4: Daniela Tavasci and Luigi Ventimiglia (Queen Mary University) show how to re-introduce inequality in the teaching of macroeconomics, and how inequality and economic growth cannot be disentangled.

1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 3: Dean Garratt ( @astonuniversity.bsky.social) and Vaclav Zdarek show how to reintegrate fiscal policy and public finance concepts into introductory macroeconomics courses and beyond, overcoming the dominance of monetary policy as teaching tool for studying stabilisation.

1

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

Ch 2: Javier Lozano (Universitat de les Illes Balears) makes a helpful comparison on how different textbooks introduce the 3-equation model and compares how central bank behaviour is modelled, highlighting crucial differences in model dynamics.

Stefania Paredes Fuentes @stefaniaparedesf.bsky.social · May 20

If you are planning your Economics Education Seminar Series for next year, consider inviting the chapters’ authors. Each brings a fresh perspective on how we can rethink macroeconomics teaching, moving beyond weeks of neoclassical growth models to include real-world issues that matter today.

If in the process of revising programmes and reading lists for the next academic year, don’t forget to ask your library to order "Teaching Macroeconomics: A Modern and Inclusive Approach." www.e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/tea...

Ch 1 is free, it describes each chapter in the book.
