This paper evaluates to what extent Dutch economics curricula prepare future economists for the leading role they are going to play in society. The data for this paper comes from a detailed analysis of 325 course outlines. That is, all BSc courses currently offered by the nine Dutch economics programmes.

This data allows us to analyse and compare the bachelor programs in Economics from every Dutch university on the following aspects: research methods, theoretical economic approaches, multi- and interdisciplinarity, real world economics, tools for critical thinking and didactic methods. With this research, we aim to provide a solid factual basis, to facilitate the growing discussion regarding the way we teach our future economists.
