Economic Analysis of Public Policy
The International Student Summit 2021 was held during May and June 2021. The Summit aims to bring students with different major of studies around the world together and study policies from economics perspective. Economics way of thinking is different from the non-economics way, which would require additional work to learn the techniques. Other than the economics way of thinking, we hoped the participants could also have an international exposure on policies and cultures from others’ presentations, and polish their skill set, such as teamwork, literature research, presentation, writing and quantitative analysis.
