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 second interview with prof. dr. Wilko Letterie from Maastricht University. The interview was conducted by Hannah Scheibe and Moritz Odersky with support of Jan Frohn.

Check out the interview and let’s keep the conversation going!
