| Abstract: | The Joint Council on Economic Education's Developmental Economic Education Program (DEEP) has been subjected to evaluations, both on a nationwide basis and in terms of the effects of a given project in a local area. Usually, the results have been positive, but too few of the evaluations have employed rigorous statistical analysis. Furthermore, the lasting effects of the program have not been sufficiently considered. The authors of this article recognize important limitations in their study, but present interesting evidence of the possible impact of the DEEP project in one city (Minneapolis) and suggest the policy implications of their findings. |
