Articles Describing Introductory Economics Courses with a Theme of Inequality

These articles describe introductory courses with a theme of inequality that integrate principles of economics and data analysis.

• Bayer, Bruich, Chetty, and Housiaux (2020) describe an introductory economics course focusing on microeconomic principles, data analysis, and inequality.
• Owen and Hagstrom (2021) describe an introductory economics that teaches both microeconomic and macroeconomic principles with a focus on data analysis and inequality.
• For an example of the integration of data analysis into an introductory course in a heterodox curriculum, see Dhondt, Dufour, Hamilton, and Seda-Irizarry (2017).
• For a more intermediate redesign of the introductory economics course, see Avery, Caldwell, Schunn and Wolfe (2021).  They report on an experiment that changed the content of recitation sections in a large lecture-based class.
