Abstract

Econ FilmMaking projects are short, entertaining videos created by students to illustrate an economic concept. While the projects can be on any topic, this article focuses on an assignment that requires students to explain a firm's average cost of production. In this assignment, students gather background information on a firm's production process, build a spreadsheet cost model, and then work in teams to create a brief, educational and entertaining video summarising their results. The project is problem-based, experiential, and fun. The project is suitable for upper-level economics classes, and the resulting videos are useful in teaching cost theory to principles students.
