Does Math Confidence Matter? How Student Perceptions Create Barriers To Success In Economics Classes
Does Math Confidence Matter? How Student Perceptions Create Barriers To Success In Economics Classes
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
One of the most common obstacles in the economics classroom is facing students’ disinclination to perform tasks requiring basic quantitative skills. Economics, relative to other disciplines, is particularly bridled by this challenge since mastery of economics requires sufficient mathematical proficiency to elicit anxiety and resistance in many students but is not widely regarded as math intensive enough to generate a selection effect of highly quantitative students. This paper attempts to measure undergraduate economics students’ perceptions of their level of “mathiness” or mathematical abilities and anxieties and then identifies the impact of those perceptions on the students’ performance in economics courses.
Clarifying The Meaning Of Noninteger N Values In Annuity Calculations
Clarifying The Meaning Of Noninteger N Values In Annuity Calculations
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
Time value of money problems are integral to finance. We focus attention on the issues raised when a noninteger solution results from solving for the variable N (number of periods) in a time value of money annuity problem. We show that such a numerical solution, while mathematically correct, can deviate from the narrative of the problem. This deviation from the narrative could cause misunderstandings between instructors and their students and practitioners and their clients. We demonstrate how instructors and practitioners can explain the deviation from the narrative in such cases, and how cash flows can be adjusted to avoid missing …
Interest Rate Swap Valuation Since The Financial Crisis: Theory And Practice
Interest Rate Swap Valuation Since The Financial Crisis: Theory And Practice
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
The financial crisis of 2007-09 revealed the importance of counterparty credit risk in the valuation of non-collateralized interest rate swaps. In theory, these valuations rest on assumed default probabilities and recovery rates. These assumptions, however, should be reflected in the risk-adjusted discount rates of the counterparties. Thus, in practice, swap valuations can be generated by discounting prospective swap settlements using risk-adjusted discount rates, cash flow by cash flow. This article demonstrates this method, discerning risk-adjusted discount rates from data that are readily available on the Bloomberg information system. Critically, if the inputs for the two methodologies are mutually consistent, theory …
On The Value Of Teaching Edgeworth Boxes In Introductory Economics Courses
On The Value Of Teaching Edgeworth Boxes In Introductory Economics Courses
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
Edgeworth boxes, which illustrate the movement toward equilibrium via trade, are almost universally relegated to intermediate microeconomics courses. I argue for their inclusion in introductory courses as a natural bridge between production / consumption possibility frontiers and supply / demand curves. When presented in an intuitive, graph-based fashion, the Edgeworth box model provides a supplementary illustration (to the Ricardian model) of trade as a Pareto improvement and emphasizes production for the purpose of utility via consumption rather than for its own sake. A course which only includes production as such is, therefore, incomplete.
Face-To-Face Versus Online: A Comparison Of Student Performance In Introduction To Finance Courses
Face-To-Face Versus Online: A Comparison Of Student Performance In Introduction To Finance Courses
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
This study compares the performance of students taking Introduction to Finance classes in an online versus a face-to-face setting. The study included 995 students. The analysis compared dropout rates, exam scores, final grades, and case study scores. The dropout rates of students in the online classes was more than twice that of students in the face-toface classes. Students in the face-to-face classes received higher scores on their exams, case studies, and higher final grades, but the difference was small, less than the difference between the grade of a B and a B-.
A Vanishing Gender Gap In Attitudes Toward Economics: A Pre- And Post-Course Analysis
A Vanishing Gender Gap In Attitudes Toward Economics: A Pre- And Post-Course Analysis
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
This study explores the gender gap in economics. A pre- and post-survey was conducted in three introductory classes in microeconomics to measure any observable difference in attitudes between male and female students toward the discipline. The pre-survey discovered that male students had a statistically significantly more positive attitude than female students in two of the four measures of student attitude, including the overall metric. The post-survey revealed no such difference in attitudes between the genders in any of the measures. These results were consistent in online class, traditional face-to-face class, and face-to-face honors class formats.

The Topic Of Socialism In University Principles Of Economics Textbooks
The Topic Of Socialism In University Principles Of Economics Textbooks
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
Polls show that socialism is more accepted by the public than in many decades. University-age students are especially enthusiastic about socialism. Do economics textbooks address this important topic? This research surveys twenty university principles texts' coverage of socialism. We measure textbook coverage of socialism and characterize the coverage regarding various definitions of "socialism" and whether those definitions match current usages of the term. We also explore the coverage of the characteristics of socialism. We find that there is great variety in coverage, though scant coverage of the type of socialism that 49% of young people today view favorably.
Using R Programming In A Financial Derivatives Course
Using R Programming In A Financial Derivatives Course
Journal of Economics and Finance Education
R is a popular and free programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. We use a class project in an undergraduate financial derivatives course to introduce students to R programming. Specifically, through pricing options using the Black Scholes model and the multi-period binomial option pricing model, students learn to import and manipulate data in R, use R to do calculations, construct user-defined functions, and apply third-party packages in R. The inclusion of relevant technology through this project also serves to maintain our curriculum currency, and we obtain overwhelmingly positive student responses to the project.
