Welcome to the New Jersey

Economics Challenge!

The 2024 New Jersey Econ Challenge is underway!

The New Jersey Econ Challenge is a fun and free way for students to flex their intellectual muscle and test their knowledge of economics all from the comfort of their home or school. Sponsored by the Council for Economic Education, this online state challenge encourages students to apply their economics knowledge by competing with other students from across the state. There are two high school divisions. All high school students are eligible to participate.

Teachers and students throughout New Jersey will be able to participate regardless of budgetary constraints. Each team will complete online exams that cover topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics, for a chance to participate in the National Semi-Finals, which will be held virtually, and the National Finals which will be held in-person.

There is no cost to either teachers or students to participate in the New Jersey Econ Challenge.

Once registered online and activated by the challenge coordinator, teachers can immediately start to create their teams.

Complete information about dates for New Jersey can be found on the "Dates and Times" menu item to the left. Once the Challenge begins, students from around the state will be able to demonstrate their economic literacy through an online exam.
