Michael Salemi and John Siegfried have advocated several significant changes, most significantly the “big ideas” principles course, in undergraduate economic education and in the economics major. This article focuses on several of these recommendations and reports the results of a survey of economic department chairs across the United States to ascertain the extent to which the recommendations are either in place or are being considered for implementation. Results, reported by institution type and other characteristics, also show the extent to which department chairs are familiar with Hansen’s proficiencies and the degree to which changes have been implemented based on the proficiencies.
