Stimulating the Post-COVID-19 Economic Recovery Scenarios to Evaluate Students' Understanding

This study presents a simulation of economic scenarios using Mind Genomics to evaluate the maturity and ability of students involved in the master's and bachelor's programs to make sound decisions. A third group of specialists in economics is added to the study to evaluate differences among these groups. A comprehensive investigation of the current literature is undertaken to comprehend how different studies have dealt with the issue of the post-COVID-19 recovery process. Literature findings are used to design the Mind Genomics experiment and enable comparisons of student responses with literature findings. The study shows that, in general, master students converge with specialists in economics. The study shows some discrepancies in the scenario-evaluation process between master's and bachelor's students. Finally, recommendations for program examination and potential improvements are suggested to further align the teaching process to market scenarios.
