Welcome to Rethinking Economics NL.
NEW UP: CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEANS
In 2018, rethinkers Joris Tieleman, Sam de Muijnck, Maarten Kavelaar and Francis Ostermeijer conducted a quantitative research on economics programmes in the Netherlands. The concluding report was ‘Thinking like an economist?’ (https://www.rethinkingeconomics.nl/publications).
In 2021, RE:NL invited all the deans of economics faculties in the Netherlands for a conversation. The goal of the conversation is to get a better understanding of the status of economics education now. The deans talk about the strengths of their university and programme, their goals related to their economics programmes, and they reflect on their programme in relation to RE:NL values.
Now in 2022, we are publishing the fourth interview with prof. dr. Roel Beetsma from University of Amsterdam. The interview was conducted by Katharina Buchsbaum and Tim Mulder with support of Eva van Soerland.
Check out the latest interview and let’s keep the conversation going!

Did you know that
86% of teaching is concentrated on neo-classical economic theory?
We think this needs to change. One size does not fit all.

DIVERSIFYING
ECONOMICS EDUCATION
FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET
We campaign for improved economics education that is diverse in theory and practice which fosters the skills needed to address 21st Century challenges.
We strive for diversity in economic thinking and are inclusive to students and scholars from different academic backgrounds.
We are a network of students, academics and critical thinkers coming together to diversify and reinvigorate economics.
We work together with professors, study associations, professional economists, civil society inititiaves and other interested individuals to foster change in economics education.
To do so, we connect with local groups across the country and other Rethinking Economics networks across the globe.
Upcoming events.
One of our aims is to make economic plurality accessible to students of all ages. We strive to organise regular (online) events promoting economists from The Netherlands and abroad.
This is an opportunity to get to know new faces, and the latest findings in economic thought ranging from complexity to ecological economics.
