IFREE’s Educational Philosophy

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”
~ Ben Franklin

Values of IFREE-supported Research-Education teams, serving to advance understanding, practical applications and graduate and post-doc development:

• Observation, experience, and sequential experiments to construct a coherent path of innovative research.

• Interaction and participation with visiting scholars and students as an integral part of their educational development.

• Dialogue to develop new opportunities and methodologies as a part of an interdisciplinary team with common problem solving objectives.

• Development of theory that is deeper and more fundamental to economic processes than has been traditional in economics.
