This is the first econ blog which is oriented towards principle level students in Economics. I hope it will make learning economics a fun thing. Aplia is the brain child of our very own Economist Paul Romer. The way he talks about New Growth Ideas--Same way he is incorporating new features in to Aplia--a student focused learning-testing-evaluation resource.

A few months ago hiring bloggers for academic positions was considered a no! no! in conservative schools: Bloggers need not apply.

I already knew about History academic blogging at George Mason University. In economics it will be a exciting new thing.
