The Maxwell School is proud to celebrate four undergraduate economics students who recently took part in EconGames, a national competition that challenges students to apply economic thinking to real-world business and policy problems. Competing for the first time, the Maxwell team tackled a compelling challenge: identify an innovative application of GPS technology in horse racing to increase fan engagement. Their analysis was presented to judges from Equibase, the official data affiliate of The Jockey Club. The team: 🍊 Ines Harouchi 🍊 Jayden Ramos 🍊 James Cavo 🍊 Ian Lever “I am very proud of the work they put in to prepare for the competition and how polished their presentation was for the judges from Equibase,” said Assistant Teaching Professor Andrew Jonelis, who led the team. ➡️ Learn more about Maxwell’s economics degree programs: https://bit.ly/4meTeVH
