@alfie_stirling I would like to contact you about two projects on broadening economics education we're doing at the Center for Economy Studies. What email can I use?
A great example of a way to diversify and engage students!
Students write a bio of a 'Great Economist' from a pre-chosen list, their contribution, how it links to class content, and their own lives.
What economists do you recommend to put on the list?

As a citizen of a tax haven, I believe we carry an extra responsibility to learn and understand how the Dutch tax haven functions and its impact. Something all of us should learn more about.
Thank you to my colleague, Sam for making such a great teaching pack 👏 Open-access ;)
🌷 New 90-min lecture pack provides an overview of the Dutch tax system, and its unique approach to taxing wealth and profits.
🌏 By studying the Dutch case, students gain insights into global approaches to wealth and profit taxation.

@MartyAmsterdam@volkskrant Ha Marty, je selecteert bij deze flowchart slechts één kwintiel aan de linkerkant, en de kinderen daaruit worden niet gelijkelijk verdeeld over de kwintielen rechts: vrouwen die arm opgroeien komen disproportioneel vaak zelf ook in een lage inkomensklasse terecht.
@vanbommel70 @TjeerddeBoer@jwitteman Het zou kunnen dat daar de meest kansrijke gezinnen gaan wonen waarvan de ouders bv in Groningen werken: relatief weinig inkomen (nodig) maar wel allerlei talenten? Maar is een totale gok.
