Abstract	Based on a review of 60 studies, this three-part report analyzes the research to date on economics education in the two-year college. After introductory material noting the growing interest in research in economics education, Part I describes the three broad categories into which the studies fall: (1) fact-finding studies, designed to determine information such as course content, instructor characteristics, and the type of department responsible for economics courses; (2) comparative studies, designed to contrast economics instruction at two-year colleges with instruction at four-year institutions; and (3) internal studies, designed to measure the effectiveness of instruction without making a comparison with four-year colleges. This section also provides a summary of the major findings produced by each type of research, a discussion of further investigation needs, and recommendations for improving research methodology based upon flaws in past studies. Part II presents a selected bibliography of 85 relevant research studies, and Part III provides synopses of the objectives, methodology, and results of 60 of these studies. The report concludes with a brief description of the research and publishing goals of the Center for Business and Economic Research at Empire State College. (JP)
