Eco Dico (Le web pédagogique /​ BNP-​​Paribas)

EcoDico is the fruit of a col­lab­or­ation between the website “WebPéd­ago­gique” and BNP Paribas eco­nomists. The idea is to share the exper­i­ences of a major bank’s eco­nomists with the broadest pos­sible public, par­tic­u­larly with pupils and stu­dents. The content is essen­tially focused on notions of the bachelor cur­riculum in eco­nomics and social sci­ences ("Ter­minale ES") but can also be useful for stu­dents in man­agement ("Ter­minale" STG).
