About

Features

  • Five types of boxed examples–international, policy, e-commerce, international policy, and daily life–are based on current topics that students want to read. This edition's boxed examples feature current issues such as how the presence of illegal aliens affects U.S. employment statistics and the costs and benefits of alternative pollution abatement efforts.
  • The beginning of each chapter gives students a quick snapshot of a relevant issue. The chapter then ends with an Issues and Applications section that explores that same issue in depth using the economic concepts from that chapter. By beginning and ending each chapter with this feature, Issues and Applications provides a coherent framework to enhance learning in each chapter.
  • The balance of Keynesian and Classical analysis gives instructors the flexibility to teach the models and schools of thought they want to include in their course.
  • Exposure to the global economy is achieved through strong international chapters and consistent use of international applications.
  • Economic growth and development are covered conceptually in an early macro chapter, and then explored in more depth later, allowing an instructor the flexibility to deal with long-run topics both early on and later in the course.
  • Entire chapters are devoted to high-interest applications such as unions and labor markets; income, poverty, and health care; and environmental economics.
  • With MyEconLab®–the online tutorial and assessment resource–students spend more time doing economics, and instructors spend less time grading. Visit MyEconLab to learn more, take a tour, and request access.
    • Complete integration between the book and MyEconLab: Each new student copy comes with prepaid access to a MyEconLab course developed specifically to accompany this text. End-of-chapter questions are available within MyEconLab so students can make the most of their study time.
    • Learning through practice: For each chapter, students can self-study using the preloaded sample tests and tutorial resources, or they can complete instructor-assigned problems. MyEconLab automatically grades exercises–even graphing problems–so students get instant feedback and personalized Study Plans with links to additional learning tools.
    • Online instructor tools: Within MyEconLab, instructors can assign preloaded or customized multiple-choice, graphing, algorithmic, and free-response questions. Exercises are auto-graded, and MyEconLab records the results in an online gradebook to effortlessly track student progress.
    • Economic Videos featuring ABC News: Each video in this series presents an issue using ABC News footage accompanied by commentary from economists to show students the economics behind the news. Visit Economics Videos for more information and to view a demo.
  • Clicker PowerPoint® slides allow professors to instantly quiz students in class and receive immediate feedback through Clicker Response System technology. These slides provide multiple-choice questions for each chapter from the Test Banks. The Clicker PowerPoint slides are available for instructors to download from the Instructor Resource Center.
