内容説明

For 2-semester, freshman/sophomore-level courses in principles of economics. This modern, Micro first text has a strong foundation in demand and supply. Its thoughtful coverage of change in demand vs. change in quantity demanded (also in supply coverage) enables students to better visualize and truly understand the difference between these 2 fundamental concepts. Early coverage of comparative advantage and externalities reflects a more modern approach to teaching and understanding the underpinnings of microeconomics. In macroeconomics, the long run first organization offers a balanced presentation between long run and short run topics and allows professors to cover the important issues of growth early, and gives them the flexibility to cover Keynesian material when they feel it is important. The AD/AS Model is covered early in the presentation. If you want to teach a modern, Micro-first principles course that brings out economic applications through active learning and experiments, and utilizes a streamlined framework emphasizing 5 key principles, examine O'Sullivan/Sheffrin's Economics: Principles and Tools 3/e. When covering Comparative Advantage, if you prefer early coverage and emphasis continuing throughout related topics, start by looking at Chapter 3 and continue through O'Sullivan/Sheffrin???s discussion of interdependence of economies. Microeconomics If you like to emphasize Consumer and Producer Surplus, take a look at Chapter 6, as well as, pages 121-137 in O'Sullivan/Sheffrin 3/e. If you believe it is important to cover Game Theory in-depth with your students, take a look at O'Sullivan/Sheffrin's strong but accessible coverage of Game Theory in Chapter 12. If Imperfect Information is a topic that you wish to explore in-depth, see Chapter 15 in O'Sullivan and Sheffrin's 3rd Edition. Macroeconomics If you prefer to introduce long run issues with subsequent, balanced coverage of AS/AD and the Keynesian Cross, examine Chapters 22-25.

内容説明

NEW AND ENHANCED! Active Learning CD-ROM This unique learning tool reinforces key concepts with rich, interactive exercises. New to this edition are seven Economic Experiment Videos, an electronic Graphing Tool, and an audio Graphing tutorial. The Active Learning CD-ROM is free with every new copy of this text! FEATURES *Active Graphs--Over 60 Active Graphs (referenced in the text) allow students to change the value of a variable and look at the effects on the equilibrium. Experience indicates that using graphs in this way considerably strengthens students' intuition and understanding of the mechanisms at work. *eGraphs--Our new electronic graph builder--allows students to plot and create their own graphs using FLASH animation. Graphing Questions, which require the student to analyze a scenario using eGraph, can then be printed or sent electronically to their professor for grading. *Graphing Tutorial--A dynamic visual and audio graphing tutorial provides helpful explanations and reference for the student. *Economic Experiments--Seven economic experiments have been chosen from the text and filmed five in classes at Iona College to demonstrate the fun interactive nature of economics
