Abstract
This paper shows the benefits of incorporating the Bloomberg terminal in teaching economics and finance classes. The Bloomberg terminal differs from traditional teaching methods by bringing students into the laboratory of the real world through the use of real-time data and news to reinforce and to apply his/her knowledge of theory and institutions. A methodical way of using this technology in teaching economics and finance electives is discussed. Results suggest that using the Bloomberg terminal makes student comprehension of theoretical and applied material deeper. Moreover, their performance in other classes, internships and jobs suggests that this approach improves retention.
