Creating a microfinance simulation game for graduate student
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2003 4:43 pm
I am planning commission the development of a simulation game for my
students in a class I teach on microfinance (small loans and savings
accounts for poor people in the developing world, cf. Grameen Bank). The
simulation would allow the students to manage a microfinance institution in
all its complexities. I am curious as to what the experiences of others on
the list have been with regard to developing such games, and whether there
is a financial institution game out there already.
