Background
Current university students lack pathways in which they can apply their economic education and policy ideas. While experiences in the classroom give students an excellent chance to apply their education, they are often short-term and have little focus on the economic situation in Hong Kong. Therefore, the aim of the Hong Kong Economic Policy Challenge (HKEPC) is to bridge the gap between economic theory and practicality, giving tertiary students a purpose to channel what they learn in the classroom to solve Hong Kong’s economic issues.
Objectives
-
For Hong Kong university students to develop a stronger understanding of economic conditions in Hong Kong through research and proposal development.
-
To apply economic theories learned both in and outside the classroom in a practical manner for the benefit of Hong Kong and its citizens.
-
Promote cooperation and collaboration between university students, academia, industry professionals, and governmental entities.
-
Establish a basis where Hong Kong university students can share and develop their economic plans through competition.
The HKEPC aspires to promote friendly competition, life-long practical learning, and cooperation through the following goals:
