Using Active Learning Techniques to Explore the Deficit Controversies

In this economics webinar, we will simulate activities that show how federal budget deficits and surpluses affect the national debt.

After an introduction to the basics of federal deficit and public debt, participants will be able to analyze the effects of different funding scenarios on production, income and ballooning public debt. This presentation will give teachers the opportunity to see groupwork activities in action.
