Most schools already do an excellent job teaching theory, so there is little value in retesting this knowledge. Instead, the EWC provides a platform for you to see economics in practice, answering the age-old question: “When will we ever use this in the real world?”
The EWC is intentionally designed to be accessible, even if economics is not part of your school's curriculum. You do not need to know any theories to be able to see them in action.
No preparation is required. Round 1 takes about 20 minutes per day. Round 2 takes 3–7 hours over a span of one week.

Many students aiming for economics, politics, business, or finance have not studied these subjects formally in school, making participation a credible differentiator.
Every year, students tell us they reference the EWC experience in their internship applications and interviews as evidence of developed skills.
You will have the opportunity to get mentored by students who got accepted into elite universities like Oxford, Yale, and Cornell. Many of these students now intern at global firms like Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Amazon, and Microsoft.

It is so lovely to see Economics thriving in a girls school setting (given the UK’s national gender imbalance in academic Economics) and competitions like this are so important to inspire our students to study Economics at a higher level – so thank you and the team ever so much. We will be encouraging students to re-enter the competition next year!
The Economics World Cup case studies are at a level where there is simply no comparable academic enrichment opportunity for high school humanities students.
Some of last year’s students felt they learnt so much from it that they mentioned it in their Personal Statements and chose to apply to an Economics degree! The Economics World Cup really is a fantastic initiative, well done and thank you for organising it.
It was an experience very few students get to have, and one which should stay with them for a long time.
Producing a coherent final report required the students to reconcile different points of view, structure an argument around evidence, and defend it to an audience. While these are skills our IB curriculum touches on, it is rarely to this depth, and I have seen students carry the confidence gained from the EWC into their other academic work.
The EWC offers a highly engaging and intellectually rigorous form of enrichment that complements classroom learning exceptionally well. Several of our students remarked that the Economics World Cup felt more like tackling a genuine policy challenge than completing an examination. I would recommend it unreservedly.
There was a time, before this competition, when I wasn't sure if I still wanted to study economics at university, even though it had been my dream for a long time. But taking part in the EWC helped me reconnect with that passion and reaffirm my decision.
Yale Young Scholars
Luanda International School
The case study was super engaging and really interesting, and as a team we can all agree that we really enjoyed it! It didn't test what we knew, but tested what we thought we didn't know. It challenged us to think of so many new possibilities rather than a few restrictive ones all leading to one 'right' answer.

Park View School
This competition has not only allowed us to utilise the skills we have learned inside the classroom, but also encouraged us to seek what is beyond the curriculum. The competition has been a refreshing change of pace whilst still implementing economics rationale.

We believe that the skills we have developed from participating in the Economics World Cup are far more transferable to real-life economic work than what any textbook could teach.
Wolves of Mussoorie
Woodstock School
The practical approach helped us develop important skills in research, teamwork, and problem-solving. It also highlighted how economic decisions are closely connected to broader social and political issues, making the experience both relevant and meaningful. We are grateful to the EWC organizers for creating such a realistic and impactful challenge.
Wolves of Seongnam
Korea International School
We could tell the EWC team had taken real care to create something meaningful, inventive, and intellectually stimulating. We do a lot of teamwork in IB, but working on the case has been more exciting than any academic project we've done. Our only regret is not finding the EWC sooner, or we would've loved to compete next year too.
Chireconomists
Chirec International School
The case was so interesting to read about! For the first time in my life, I actually enjoyed having to read a long academic file, and found myself really intrigued by the problem at hand! In addition, making the video and presentation for this project was extremely helpful, as I feel that it better prepared me for my future in the workforce, where such presentations are often a pinnacle of success.

Market Failures
Eerde International Boarding School
EWC was a really great starting point in economics-related extracurriculars for me. I'm still exploring different things, but recently I do feel like economics is the path I want to take on a more serious level, and EWC is really great for me to understand economic thinking, rather than learning more theory, which I think should really be the focus of every economics competition.
Yale Young Economics Scholars
Chigwell School
The design of the case has taught me about the hyper-connectedness of the variables in our world, and how that affects decision-making. Through the case, I realised how technology and mathematics can be put to good use in economics, and I enjoyed the process of coming up with solutions based on these fields of study. The Economics World Cup has broadened my horizons and pushed me deeper into the rabbit hole of economics.
Goldman Socks
Raffles Institution
Planning things like where to implement roads, what trains to use, and what port we should use enabled me to make many different trade-offs, and in these types of scenarios I really felt like an economist. It was exciting to put all our brains together and imagine our ideas helping shape Brazil's future. My team and I have faced many types of case studies in Economics, but the EWC one was by far the most intriguing.
Alliance Economics

The Economics World Cup was a rewarding experience that really opened our eyes to how economics works in the real world. We are glad we got to be part of it, and we definitely enjoyed it.

This case was one of the most engaging and realistic challenges I've encountered in any economics competition. I deeply appreciate the way this competition challenged me intellectually and strategically, and how it gave me a meaningful platform to explore solutions to a pressing global issue.

At first, I didn't know what to expect going into the Economics World Cup since it was the first economics competition I had entered. But it exceeded all my expectations. The case was realistic, and it felt like I was actually a consultant working on it.
Coligopoly

I found this year’s case very enjoyable, especially because of the freedom given to us regarding finding solutions to the case. The fact that I was able to create a whole new map of regions myself and export through an entirely unconsidered port was great.

This year's case study was a captivating and in-depth journey, and we commend the EWC Team for their outstanding work in bringing it to life. We had a blast unravelling it together and found the entire experience very rewarding.

Greensprings School Lagos
Compared to similar competitions, the EWC stands out for its use of real-life case studies that closely simulate the work of professional economists. The only criticism we could offer was our wish for more time during the Final; however, in retrospect, the limited time frame pushed us to work more efficiently (like real economists).
Echelon Wealth
Del Norte High School
Participating in the Economics World Cup has been an intense yet incredibly rewarding experience for our team, and we have had the opportunity to stretch our understanding of economics and ethics far beyond the classroom. We are proud of how far we have come, and even more exicted about where this experience will take us next.
Money Monkeys
Oberoi International School
The concept of this competition focusing on the thought process is really admirable, and more competitions for other fields should follow suit. We genuinely believe that this form of competition will be the next big thing. Anyhow, the competition was fun and exciting; the organisers definitely delivered on what we expect of the competition. Thank you!

The case study was challenging, thought-provoking, and captivating! The Economics World Cup shows how significant economic decisions really are, and how they can shape entire countries. Overall, it was an amazing experience to compete, explore the case study, and create an impactful strategy.

This case was one of the most engaging and realistic challenges I've encountered in any economics competition. I deeply appreciate the way this competition challenged me intellectually and strategically, and how it gave me a meaningful platform to explore solutions to a pressing global issue.

We were genuinely impressed by the Economics World Cup experience. The case study was challenging yet engaging, and it pushed us to apply real-world economic thinking in a way we've never done before. We feel inspired and much more prepared for the world of economics.

At first, I didn't know what to expect going into the Economics World Cup since it was the first economics competition I had entered. But it exceeded all my expectations. The case was realistic, and it felt like I was actually a consultant working on it.

European International School
I found this year’s case very enjoyable, especially because of the freedom given to us regarding finding solutions to the case. The fact that I was able to create a whole new map of regions myself and export through an entirely unconsidered port was great.

This year's case study was a captivating and in-depth journey, and we commend the EWC Team for their outstanding work in bringing it to life. We had a blast unravelling it together and found the entire experience very rewarding.

Compared to similar competitions, the EWC stands out for its use of real-life case studies that closely simulate the work of professional economists. The only criticism we could offer was our wish for more time during the Final; however, in retrospect, the limited time frame pushed us to work more efficiently (like real economists).
Echelon Wealth
Del Norte High School
Participating in the Economics World Cup has been an intense yet incredibly rewarding experience for our team, and we have had the opportunity to stretch our understanding of economics and ethics far beyond the classroom. We are proud of how far we have come, and even more exicted about where this experience will take us next.

Oberoi International School
The concept of this competition focusing on the thought process is really admirable, and more competitions for other fields should follow suit. We genuinely believe that this form of competition will be the next big thing. Anyhow, the competition was fun and exciting; the organisers definitely delivered on what we expect of the competition. Thank you!

There was a time, before this competition, when I wasn't sure if I still wanted to study economics at university, even though it had been my dream for a long time. But taking part in the EWC helped me reconnect with that passion and reaffirm my decision.

Several times whilst participating, we said "so this is how it is to be an Economist," and we were pleasantly surprised by how fun it is.

We believe that the skills we have developed from participating in the Economics World Cup are far more transferable to real-life economic work than what any textbook could teach.

Thank you for putting together such a challenging and rewarding experience. Working on the Economics World Cup Finals case has been a highlight of our summer.

The case study was super engaging and really interesting, and as a team we can all agree that we really enjoyed it! It didn't test what we knew, but tested what we thought we didn't know. It challenged us to think of so many new possibilities rather than a few restrictive ones all leading to one 'right' answer.

This competition has not only allowed us to utilise the skills we have learned inside the classroom, but also encouraged us to seek what is beyond the curriculum. The competition has been a refreshing change of pace whilst still implementing economics rationale.

The practical approach helped us develop important skills in research, teamwork, and problem-solving. It also highlighted how economic decisions are closely connected to broader social and political issues, making the experience both relevant and meaningful. We are grateful to the EWC organizers for creating such a realistic and impactful challenge.

We could tell the EWC team had taken real care to create something meaningful, inventive, and intellectually stimulating. We do a lot of teamwork in IB, but working on the case has been more exciting than any academic project we've done. Our only regret is not finding the EWC sooner, or we would've loved to compete next year too.

The case was so interesting to read about! For the first time in my life, I actually enjoyed having to read a long academic file, and found myself really intrigued by the problem at hand! In addition, making the video and presentation for this project was extremely helpful, as I feel that it better prepared me for my future in the workforce, where such presentations are often a pinnacle of success.

EWC was a really great starting point in economics-related extracurriculars for me. I'm still exploring different things, but recently I do feel like economics is the path I want to take on a more serious level, and EWC is really great for me to understand economic thinking, rather than learning more theory, which I think should really be the focus of every economics competition.
Yale Young Economics Scholars
Chigwell School
The design of the case has taught me about the hyper-connectedness of the variables in our world, and how that affects decision-making. Through the case, I realised how technology and mathematics can be put to good use in economics, and I enjoyed the process of coming up with solutions based on these fields of study. The Economics World Cup has broadened my horizons and pushed me deeper into the rabbit hole of economics.
Goldman Socks
Raffles Institution
Planning things like where to implement roads, what trains to use, and what port we should use enabled me to make many different trade-offs, and in these types of scenarios I really felt like an economist. It was exciting to put all our brains together and imagine our ideas helping shape Brazil's future. My team and I have faced many types of case studies in Economics, but the EWC one was by far the most intriguing.
