“…As of 2019, the list of journals focused on economic education-specific scholarship included 10 different outlets (Asarta & Mixon, 2019), with that list growing in 2022 thanks to the creation of a new academic journal: Advances in Economics Education . Further, influential economic education scholarship has not been relegated to field journals alone (Lo et al, 2015; Asarta et al, 2016). Although the work by Lo et al (2015) and Hwang et al (2019) has taken steps to identify and analyze the most prominent and impactful authors in economic education, there is still much left unexplored.…”

Despite the substantial literature on women in economics, very little qualitative work has been devoted to exploring women’s lived experiences, and even less so on their presence in the economic education subfield. Through interviewing top female contributors to the three leading economic education journals, new insights regarding their experiences within the profession are presented, including challenges they have faced and addressed, the roles colleagues and institutions play in their scholarship, and how research itself fits into their overall careers.

Closing the Curriculum Gap by Updating Content Standards and Guidelines for Teaching Monetary Policy

The topic of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) implementation of monetary policy has a significant presence in economics teaching resources. Over the past decade or so, the Fed has purposefully shifted the way it implements monetary policy, introducing a new methodology with new policy tools. Unfortunately, many teaching materials are out of date with the Fed’s current ample-reserves regime and classroom teachers are often guided to teach old content. This guidance often comes from the Voluntary National Content Standards (VNCS) in Economics and the Advanced Placement (AP) Course and Exam Description that are sadly outdated. The VNCS influences the treatment of economics content in K-12 curriculum and textbooks, and the AP course framework determines the content taught in thousands of high school classrooms every year. As such, revising these influential documents is instrumental for closing the curriculum gap. We provide recommendations for how these materials can be updated.
