Economics simulation
Make market mechanisms visible.
ClassTycoon puts elasticity, differentiation, scarcity, and competitive response into a market students can operate—and then explain.
Demand
Price elasticity
Teams see how price changes affect demand, revenue, and share relative to competing offers.
Differentiation
Non-price competition
Marketing and R&D shift Brand Index and Quality Index over time instead of acting as instant score boosts.
Constraint
Scarcity and trade-offs
Production, inventory, cash, and financing constraints force choices with measurable opportunity costs.
Designed for explanation
No unexplained winner screen.
The simulation records structured reasons behind material changes, while instructors retain the complete cross-team view.
01
Compare against the market
Market Share sits alongside price, Brand Index, Quality Index, and available supply.
02
Follow the money
Revenue, direct costs, overhead, financing, and ending cash remain visible as distinct measures.
03
Replay the reasoning
Round history supports a debrief that moves from observation to economic explanation.
