Brazilian Economics Olympiad (OBECON)

The Olimpíada Brasileira de Economic (OBECON) is a free event for high schools students in Brazil that aims to promote an interest in economics among students, stimulate research, and create an environment that allows for participants' intellectual and emotional growth.

Participants will sit for an exam that includes both quantitative and qualitative questions on topics related to microeconomics, macroeconomics, finance, behavioural economics, and economic history. Those participants that achieve the top 5 scores will qualify to represent Brazil at the International Economics Olympiad (IEO).
