Sources and CORE Econ reading
MFE uses original mathematics problems and explanations, then links students to authoritative economic context. This page records which CORE Econ works were reviewed and how they are used.
What this source integration means
MFE is a deterministic learning application, not an AI model. Nothing in the application has been fine-tuned on these books. The integration is a curated reference layer: relevant problems and topic guides link to exact CORE Econ units that explain the surrounding economics.
CORE readings provide economic context and empirical practice. MFE's reference layer does not import or rewrite CORE prompts, equations, exercises, solutions, figures, or glossary definitions.
Primary books and collections
CORE's page contains 18 catalog entries. This review expands the French school series into its three named volumes and records the separately accessible Spanish macroeconomics volume, producing 21 named works and volumes. The catalog was checked against the official CORE Econ ebooks page on August 26, 2026.
The Economy 2.0: Microeconomics
Current introductory microeconomics volume and the main source of economic context for choice, firms, markets, and constraints.
The Economy 2.0: Macroeconomics
Current introductory macroeconomics volume and a source of context for multiplier systems, finance, growth, and dynamics.
Understanding Our Economy
North American introductory edition. Its public reader currently exposes a developing set of units, so it is catalogued without duplicating 2.0 references.
Experiencing Economics
Classroom experiments that supply additional context for markets, multipliers, taxes, networks, and equilibrium dynamics.
Doing Economics
Data projects that connect equations and graphs to empirical economic analysis using common statistical software.
CORE Insights
A collection of topical modules. Individual modules and the named Spanish translation are catalogued below and used only when they add relevant economic context.
The Economy 1.0
Legacy first edition, last updated in 2022. It remains useful where a topic is not yet covered as directly in the newer volumes.
Economy, Society, and Public Policy
Policy-focused introductory text used for additional applications of firms, markets, public policy, and data analysis.
The Economy: A South Asian Perspective
Regional adaptation with distinct South Asian settings. It is used where that context adds something beyond the global editions.
Translations and school editions
Language editions are catalogued so the source review is complete, but a translation is not counted as separate evidence for an English MFE topic. The French high-school series is hosted externally, so MFE links only to CORE's official series page.

Spanish 2.0 microeconomics volume. Catalogued as a language edition rather than separate economic evidence.
La economía 2.0: Macroeconomía
