EcoSim: An Interactive Simulation EcoSim is an interactive simulation in which each student plays the role of a company and a group of people, or a legislator in the government/central bank. EcoSim provides students with a strong intuitive grasp of economics and finance by giving them hands on experience in the workings of an economy. EcoSim is designed to be used with any (or all, simultaneously) of the following classes: principles of economics, intermediate microeconomics, public finance, mathematical economics, managerial economics, and principles of finance. EcoSim can also be used in high school economics classes. EcoSim operates on a VAX/VMS system (a windows based version for a PC network is in the works). The software is available at no charge to all interested colleges and universities. All players are requested to purchase a manual and spreadsheet disk (the spreadsheet aids in decision making in the simulation) at a nominal fee.

BusSim is a compilation of six programs and companion cases that allow the business student to apply business decision making to a single organization. The programs are divided into three levels. The Introductory level is designed to introduce the underclassman to several simplified business decision variables. The Analytical level programs are much more detailed and designed to accompany functional core business classes as an aid to application and decision making. The Comprehensive level is designed to integrate all the functional areas and focus on strategy development and profitability. By using a common simulation process and maintaining a familiar business environment (case), the student will be able to focus on decision making; thereby increasing their ability to integrate the effect of changes in the decision variables to the business operation.
