Education

Video series and courses for students and educators interested in exploring new economic thinking.

Events

To foster new economic thinking, we host convenings that gather together a diverse community of thinkers from different fields, countries, and schools of thought.

YSI

Through the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI), INET provides support to students, young professionals, or others who embrace new and critical ways of thinking about the economy. YSI fosters conversation among those who wish to engage with new economic thinking and connects young scholars to the Institute’s vast network of economists.
