Abstract

With the economics profession working to increase diversity, this study investigates gender differences in attitudes about the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ FREDcast® game used in teaching principles of macroeconomics. Student survey results show that females enjoy economics and the online game less than males. This evidence of a gender difference adds to the literature that might be helpful to instructors as they work to foster inclusiveness and develop learning activities that appeal to and engage diverse students.
