As part of the International Finance course at FLAME University, students take part in an experiential simulation that turns the classroom into a global marketplace. Representing six countries across three rounds, students navigate real-world challenges — resource scarcity, trade negotiations, pricing dynamics, and sovereign borrowing — to experience firsthand how global markets actually function.
The simulation builds practical intuition around:
Global inequality and unequal starting resources
Industrialization under constraints
Market equilibrium and dynamic pricing
Trade negotiations and comparative advantage
International lending, interest rates, and debt traps
Strategic decision-making under uncertainty
It's experiential learning designed to bridge theory and application — helping students build economic intuition, not just read about it.
