Econ Club Overview:

The RMS Economics Club is dedicated to introducing and improving students’ understanding of basic Micro and Macroeconomic concepts. Students in the Redwood Economics Club will attend online biweekly meetings to learn about topics including macroeconomics and inflation, imperfect market competition, price floors and ceilings, and elasticity. This club plans to host fun economic competitions including NEC (National Economics Challenge), NPFC (National Personal Finance Challenge), and a club-wide buzzer competition (with prizes). We also host a year-end party and give out club merchandise!
