Abstract
Since January 2000, the authors have experimented with an integrated community-based research-education-service model that combined (1) funded research into the local economic effects of the University of Vermont; (2) a sequence of four semester-long courses to conduct the research and to implement and evaluate key findings; and (3) a university-community partnership that defined and guided the research and helped identify and implement actions that grew out of the research. The authors found that combining all three goals— research, education, and service—into a set of integrated activities can offer substantial benefits to faculty, students, and community groups. In particular, these innovative experiential courses can improve the quality of learning and serve as a capstone course for an undergraduate economics major.
