The 36th Annual Summer Economic Institute for Teachers is a unique opportunity for high school and community college educators to come to Stanford for a week to learn from leading world economists, share resources, and engage in thought-provoking discussions. Educators will leave feeling honored as professionals, intellectually refreshed, and armed with new ideas for their classrooms. 

The Institute will feature major presentations by distinguished scholars on a wide number of issues including macroeconomics of recession and inflation, the impact of COVID-19 on U.S. educational attainment, the contrasting economies of California and Texas, aspects of development economics, and dynamic pricing such as practiced by Uber and Lyft. There will also be time for teachers to share resources, and discuss teaching challenges.
