Fancy being Prime Minister of Number 10 Downing Street? This economic policy simulator puts you in the government hot seat at a time of economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom. Will the country fall into a recession, or will your policies for consumption, interest rates and fiscal deficit be enough to secure economic stability and win another term in office?

10 Downing Street is a video-based simulator played in a network. Students play through six different turns and receive feedback on their progress continuously in the form of an opinion poll based on the thoughts of IE professors.

Beginning with the details of an unnamed country this interactive exercise lets students combine various economic policies to analyze their future impact (in the following two years) on the main macroeconomic indicators. The results and feedback given to students are expressed numerically and graphically.

Students also have access to the results of the combination of policies used throughout the exercise so that they can be compared. Said results can be printed for subsequent discussion.
