Students researching economic data and open books

About Us

Real students. Real research. Honest economics.

Why We Started

Public debate deserves better data.

We started Students for Economic Truth because economic issues are often misunderstood, oversimplified, or distorted in public debate.

Our goal is to make economics easier to understand so people can think more clearly about social issues, policy, and community challenges. When we improve our understanding, we make our society better and our communities stronger. We don’t pick sides. We read the research, summarize what it actually finds, and bring it to people in the form they’ll actually read.

If we can help one classroom, one town hall, or one family argument get a little closer to the truth, we think that’s worth it.
