The Economics of Seinfeld – Lessons Based on Seinfeld Clips

The Economics of Seinfeld is a neat concept for teaching economics lessons developed by economics professors from Eastern Illinois University and Baker University. The Economics of Seinfeld is a catalog of clips (sometimes entire episodes) from the hit sitcom Seinfeld that demonstrate various economics concepts. There are seven pages of clips that you can browse through. Alternatively, and more practically, you can search for clips by entering an economics term like “demand,” “supply,” and “substitute goods.”

If you plan to use The Economics of Seinfeld, you should know that it doesn’t host all of the video clips. In some cases you’re just directed you to episodes and time-frames within episodes to find clips. You’ll have to find the episodes on Hulu or acquire a copy of Seinfeld on DVD to use the clips in your classroom.
