Armchair Economist Award

At the end of each semester, I award the Armchair Economist Award in my Econ 201 and 202 courses. Awardees earn bragging rights, get inducted into a highly selective pantheon of students who’ve mastered the economic way of thinking and receive a copy of The Armchair Economist by Stephen Landsburg!
