Of the two MAK and SMK alumni who tend to study Islamic economics or courses in Islamic economics majors is MAK. Then MAK and SMK, if viewed from Islamic economic principles that are more directed at strengthening religious teachings, so that they can be practiced and applied in the world of work, according to the author MAK is more relevant and more profitable, both in the world and the hereafter. Especially if it is weighed by the theory of Islamic education and education philosophy that is oriented towards noble character and morality, the educational goals of Islamic economic perceptive MAK are closer to perfect compared to SMK

This paper studies one college's policy requiring minimum grades in core courses for completion of the economics major. The policy reduced majors by approximately 6 percent. Grades of C-and D (requiring students to retake the course) dropped substantially, while grades of C (the minimum acceptable grade) did not change, and grades from C+ to B rose. Difference-in-difference analysis suggests that the policy caused the grade shift. Because C grades did not change and grades as high as B increased, I conclude that the policy caused increased effort by students who were below and somewhat above the performance standard.

Women persist in the field of economics at significantly lower rates than men. We show that the gender of an academic advisor is an important determinant of female undergraduates' persistence in economics. We use data from a four-year college where first-year economics majors are randomly assigned to advisors who are also faculty members in the economics department. Advisors help students choose courses and monitor their academic progress. We find that having a female advisor rather than a male advisor reduces female students' first-year dropout rates and increases their likelihood of graduating with an economics degree.

We analyze an intervention that provided information from diverse voices about breadth, opportunities, and grade distributions in economics. In 2020, the year of a global pandemic, randomized control trials delivered videos/infographics and letters to students in Michigan State University's introductory classes. We find suggestive evidence, due to large standard errors, that the video treatment differentially increases the intentions of female and underrepresented minority (URM) students to take additional courses and major in economics. The video treatment increased the probability of URM students' self-reported chances of taking another economics course by 6 percentage points, 11 percent above the baseline, relative to the control group.

We assess whether light-touch interventions can increase the proportion of women who study economics. Over 2,000 students were randomly assigned to receive a message with basic information about the economics major, the basic message combined with an emphasis on the rewarding careers or financial returns associated with the major, or no message. The basic message increased the proportion of male students majoring in economics by 2 percentage points, equivalent to the control mean. We find no significant effects for female students. Extrapolating to the full sample, the basic message would nearly double the male/female ratio among economics majors.

In introductory classes on race and ethnicity, terms like wealth, economic inequality, and SES (socio-economic status) often take center stage during one chapter or another.  There are numerous text books on this subject.  But, I've had more success explaining these terms by using different media.  To illustrate such important themes to non-economics majors, I often show and discuss The Queen of Versailles, a 2012 documentary that depicts the Siegel family’s 2-year meteoric decent from wealth (being worth billions of dollars) to rags (being worth “only” tens of millions of dollars).

A hedonic lifestyle is a lifestyle that prioritizes mere pleasure. Many individuals have a hedonic lifestyle, including students. The purpose of this study is to find out what are the factors that lead to the hedonism lifestyle of the students of the Islamic Economics Department of IAIN, Bengkulu City, and how to review the Islamic Economy on Hedonism Behavior. This research is a qualitative research, with a phenomenology approach. Using a purposive sampling technique involving the 4th semester students and 6th semester students. The results showed that the factors that influence the lifestyle of hedois for female students in economics majors in general are divided into two, namely (internal), and (external) factors. Islam does not justify a hedonic lifestyle because it will cause harm to individuals and society, where a lifestyle like this will lead to a spree in which Islam teaches life according to needs (maslahah) a hedonic lifestyle will give youth a disadvantage, in this case college student.
