2024 NET Recap
NET held its seventh annual tournament from April 6-7, 2024, hosting over 220 high school students from six countries, both in-person and virtually. Teams demonstrated their extensive economics knowledge across a difficult team exam in the Power Round and faced eachother in the dramatic head-to-head Econ Bowl. Teams also had a chance to participate in a fun economics-themed simulation and hear from NET alumni as part of a diverse career panel. Professors Mark Witte and Piotr Dworczak presented engaging lectures in their respective research fields, providing participants with a taste of Northwestern economics.
Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to the champions!
