In this decision-making simulation, students try to maximise their scores based on their chosen economic policies.

In Economic Meltdown students are provided with a choice of 16 possible government policies that might be used to meet the economic objectives of:

  • Low Unemployment
  • Price Stability
  • Economic Growth
  • Positive impact on the environment

Can they make choices that keep their team score above zero and avoid economic meltdown?

The online simulator used in Economic Meltdown can be found here.
