Ever find yourself scratching your head while listening to the latest business news? Ever had a hard time explaining the economic impact of a public policy proposal to your constituents? What does GDP really measure and why does it matter? Is it good to control prices? What is a credit default swap anyway? If understanding and explaining some of these topics is a challenge for you, you are not alone.

That's why Economics Wisconsin a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization is offering its first ever "Economics for Opinion Leaders” to Wisconsin legislators and staff. This two-day institute features presenters who are talented, seasoned economists with a unique ability to help understand and communicate economic principles in ways that are powerful, entertaining and engaging to non-economists. The Institute will stress learning how to think in terms of a policy’s economic impact. Engaging readings and interactive simulations will be included.
