This paper presents a novel way to use Twitter to engage students in advanced economics courses. While prior research provides some uses of Twitter in introductory economics courses, little research exists on the use of Twitter in upper level economics courses. This paper provides one of the first pedagogical examples of Twitter use to engage students in an upper level economics elective.
