How it Works

The MN Economics Challenge is an opportunity for high school students to demonstrate their knowledge of Economics by competing with other students across the state. In the first qualifying round, each team of 3-4 students will complete online tests that cover topics in fundamentals, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and international economics.  After the qualifying rounds (fall and spring) are complete, the top teams in ecah division are then invited to the in-person state competition to showcase their knowledge. 
 

All Minnesota high school students are eligible. Teachers can register as many teams as they like, with 3-4 students on each team. Note: All students on a team must be from the same school or club.  *Students enrolled in a PSEO Economics/Personal Finance class are not eligible to compete.

There is no financial cost to teachers or students to participate in the Economics Challenge, however, all teams will need to invest time and effort to prepare for the competition. Please connect with MCEE if your team needs help with transportation, hotel, etc. costs.

Note: There are some additional restrictions for teams with returning students or those competing in the Joan Robinson division. More information about these rules can be found by clicking here.
