Can you identify these economic concepts disguised as festive Halloween costumes?
Marginal Revolution University challenges viewers to decode a series of academic costumes worn by prominent economists. This lighthearted video showcases professors from various institutions dressed to represent specific economic theories, offering a chance to win branded apparel for those who correctly guess the concepts.
The video features a lineup of ten economists, including figures like Betsey Stevenson, Josh Angrist, Justin Wolfers, Tyler Cowen, and Alex Tabarrok, alongside Joana Girante, Dirk Mateer, Jadrian Wooten, and Charity-Joy Acchiardo. Each participant adopts a costume intended to illustrate a core economic idea.
Viewers are invited to submit their guesses for these concepts. The competition, which limits participants to one entry each, concludes with winners announced on November 5, 2018. The video also highlights the specific designs of hoodies offered as prizes for successful participants.
