Economics for Future
Focuses not just on past economic theories but encourages thinking about emerging economic issues. Includes cutting-edge economic research and theoretical achievements to prepare students for future challenges.
Pure Economics Competition
Consists of multiple-choice questions on basic economic concepts, material-based questions, and "Thinking and Innovation" sections that demonstrate students' innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Problem-Solving by Economics
Encourages using economics to solve global problems and applies "economics thinking" to complex issues like global warming, artificial intelligence development, and trade conflicts.
Opportunity Equality for Every Student
Adheres to principles of "equal result" and "equal opportunity." Values students' thinking modes and problem-solving abilities while providing academic guidance, ensuring background or education level doesn't affect participation.
Team Competition Format
Team-Based Competition
The World Economics Cup is designed as a collaborative team event where teams of six members work together to tackle complex economic challenges. This format promotes teamwork, diverse perspectives, and collective problem-solving.
Compete In A Team of Six
Team Formation
Teams must consist of six students under a school adviser's guidance. Students register through their school adviser who manually assigns and forms teams in the system.
Individual Pre-registration
Individual students can pre-register but remain ineligible until they form a complete team. The adviser is responsible for team coordination and final registration.
Exam Modules
For exam modules, each team member completes the exam individually. Team scores are then calculated as the average of all six members' individual performances.
Presentation Modules
For presentation modules, all team members must be present simultaneously to collaborate and deliver their presentation together as a unified team.
