…by doing this NYTimes 18 multiple-choice questions quiz (via Greg Mankiw).
This is obviously piece of cake if you did any (ok: any decent) introductory Economics courses (if you did not do any Econ but read frequently the economic news and understand some basics, you should still be able to answer correctly at least 10 of the 18 questions– my own approximation here), but I still like the way they structured the multiple choices: I actually had to stay more than a few seconds for some of the questions :-).
But, Real One, won’t you let us know which ones?… 🙂
I had 11/18 but 5 questions are just wrong. The Real Economist
I would say you did very good for a never-Econ student, Mr. Anghel! If my theory about having an intro Econ is correct, probably you missed the questions concerning Keynesian vs. classical frameworks?
I took it this morning and I scored 14/18 and still cannot understand how I could miss some obvious answers:) I’ll blame my only 4 hours of sleep last night which messed up my entire day:)
