Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Working Papers We study the implications of mixing economics and personal finance standards in a high school course. Using administrative, survey, and testing data on college students, we find evidence that personal finance instruction crowds out economics instruction.

We find that students who received more instruction in economics score almost 5% higher on an economics test. Furthermore, we estimate the effect of being assigned a certification test in personal finance as a part of this course. The effect of the certification test is not uniform across students. The test reduces the economics scores of students with an SAT score one standard deviation above the mean by 5 percentage points, but increases the scores of students with SAT scores one standard This paper investigates the impact of district-level course mandates on students' end-of-course economic understanding. Data were collected from Mississippi high school students studying economics in three different course environments.

Students were either enrolled in a one semester economics course required for graduation, enrolled in a one semester course taken as an elective, or studying economics as an infusion subject within a United States... A regression-based selection model was estimated to control for students' demographic characteristics, educational attributes, market experiences, and school attributes. The results indicated that student test scores were significantly less for those students studying economics as an infusion subject and when taking a mandated stand-alone course, ceteris paribus. The authors conclude that course mandates may result in teacher and student issues that reduce the overall observed level of test performance. Rent and save from the world's largest eBookstore.

Using administrative, survey, and testing data on college students, we find that learning personal finance can help the learning of economics for some students and hurt it for others. We estimate that students who received more instruction in economics score almost 5 percentage points higher on our economics test. Furthermore, we estimate the effect of being assigned a certification test in personal finance as a part of this course. Taking the personal finance certification test increases economics test scores by 2.5 percentage points for the average student, but this effect is not uniform across students.

The certification test significantly increases the economics scores of students with low SAT scores, while decreasing the economics scores of those with high SAT scores. Our results emphasize the potentially idiosyncratic effects of mixing economics with personal finance.
