Public Goods & Free Riding: The Las Acacias Court
Run the council of a 38-household block deciding how to fund six community projects.
About this simulation
Take a closing shopping mall, meet eight people losing their jobs, classify each unemployment type and discover that one number — 8% unemployment — hides four very different problems with four very different solutions. Decompose the city headline rate, choose a framing, and allocate a CO$50M policy budget across five labour-market levers.
Who it is for
An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.
How a session runs

- Participants play 3 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results. The first round opens with: Meet the Eight.
- The simulation can be run in English, Español.
- The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.
