A Simulation Game
The award winning simulation game teaches students about Macroeconomics in an entertaining and hands-on way. When playing Econland, students manage the economy of a country that faces the ups and downs of the global economic environment through a seven year business cycle. Players make monetary and fiscal policy decisions in order to keep their population satisfied. Each time that students play the game they can choose between three scenarios for the development of the world economy. In this way, students can play the game many times and continue to be engaged.
By playing Econland, students learn about all the major economic concepts of a Macroeconomics course through active analysis and decision making. In addition, students also learn to link the Macroeconomics course materials to real world events.

A Learning Platform
The Econland learning platform includes learning resources that link the simulation game to both the real-world economy and to topics covered in Macroeconomics courses. The platform includes a brief explanation of relevant theory, a glossary of terms, a weekly online Economics newspaper, explainer videos and a quiz with an extensive bank of test questions. It's everything you need to enjoy learning about how an economy works.
Flexibility for all Levels & Types of Learners
Econland can be used by students at all levels. The simulation game brings economic policymaking to life by letting students understand the economic environment, make economic policy decisions, and analyze their results. Using Econland consolidates all the main concepts taught in a Macroeconomics course in one exercise and develops analytical, critical thinking and decision making skills.
Instructors can tailor the use of Econland to the needs of each learner by focusing on basic concepts or on more complex analyses. If desired, instructors can make changes to the simulation model by adjusting values for government spending multipliers and income tax multipliers. For advanced learners, the simulation can be a way to develop economic modelling. Econland can be used in class and outside class, depending on the course format and preferences of the instructor.
