Local students participate in global economic event

Students from Mountain Home High School received an in-depth look at the global economy and its impact on international relations during a regional summit held earlier this month.

Hosted by Boise State University, the international economic simulation featured five-student teams representing 95 schools across southern Idaho.

The Idaho Council on Economic Education, in cooperation with the Boise State Department of Business and Economics and the College of Education, sponsored the event. It followed a similar experience hosted by the University of Idaho on Dec. 2.
