Use Economics to Understand the Real World
World Young Economist is a global student platform for economics writing, research, publication, and community engagement.
We help students turn questions about artificial intelligence, education, housing, inflation, technology, climate, trade, and public policy into essays, research projects, published work, and meaningful academic experiences.
More than a competition, WYE is a pathway for students to write, research, publish, and lead in the age of AI.

Research Pathways
Learn, contribute, and grow.
WYE Members can join free courses, reading groups, workshops, research activities, and community events. Volunteer Members may also contribute to real projects and apply for selected internship, stipend, and role verification opportunities.
Write about real economic questions.
The World Young Economist Essay Prize invites students to write about urgent issues shaping our future, including AI, education inequality, housing affordability, inflation, financial risk and the value of work. There are no age or grade divisions. Essays are judged by reasoning, evidence, originality, clarity, and real-world insight.
Turn ideas into research.
A strong question can become more than one essay. WYE helps students develop their ideas into economic commentary, data-based articles, policy briefs, and independent research projects.
Activity & Membership
Start !
Before You Are Over Credentialed
Many students wait until they have enough certificates, titles, or formal approval before they begin asking serious academic questions.
WYE believes students can start earlier.
In the age of AI, students need more than information. They need judgment: the ability to ask better questions, evaluate evidence, understand trade-offs, and explain real-world problems with clarity.
At WYE, students begin with a question, develop it through writing, strengthen it through evidence, and grow through research, feedback, publication, and community participation.
