The Economics of Social Entrepreneurship
Samwick, Andrew A.
Journal of Economic Education, v53 n2 p176-180 2022
The emerging field of social entrepreneurship seeks to address social challenges in environments where traditional public sector institutions are weak or absent. With its explicit focus on solving problems, social entrepreneurship is inherently interdisciplinary. A well-designed undergraduate course in social entrepreneurship can enhance traditional economics course offerings by integrating frameworks and pedagogies from both public policy and human-centered design.
