Economics

Target Market: for the 2 semester principles of economics course.

One of the all time best-sellers, this text is widely used because of its careful, streamlined, and intuitive chapter organization.

Microeconomics Organization

Case & Fair, present a very precise and simplified microeconomic model first, before introducing all the exceptions and subtleties of a more complex economic world.  Only after this simplified model is developed, do the authors give a throrough treatment of market imperfections, externalities, public finance, and international economics.  (A detailed summary of this approach can be found in the preface).

Macroeconomics Organization

The Keynesian Cross is an integral part of this text.  Case & Fair believe strongly, that a text should use the Keynsian Cross carefully and systematically, to build up to the AD/AS model.  One of the great benefits of this appoach, is that students won't mistakenly apply what they learned about simple demand and supply to aggregate demand & supply.  (A detailed summary of this approach can be found in the preface)

"Do you think the Keynsian Cross should be integrated more thoroughly into principles text?  "Are you tired of books that relegate Keynsian Cross coverage to "optional" chapters?"

The Keynsian Cross is an integral part of this text.  Case & Fair believe strongly, that a text should use the Keynsian Cross carefully and systematically, to build up to the AD/AS model.  One of the great benefits of this appoach, is that students won't mistakenly apply what they learned about simple demand and supply to aggregate demand & supply.  (A detailed summary of this approach can be found in the preface).  

1. In Text News Analysis - The authors have takenreal news articles from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist, and others, and have strategically integrated them into their text, in a feature called News Analysis.  In this new edition, the authors have also added homework problems for News Analysis articles at the end of the chapter. (Example: P. 71 Mad Cow Disease Cuts Demand for Cattle, with Problem 12 on P. 75)
2. Online Weekly News Updates - In addition to the news articles in the text, the Case & Fair also brings you two new articles each week, one for Microeconomics and one for Macroeconomics.  Each update includes a direct link to the original web source, a summary, and a set of critical thinking questions that can be assigned or used to open classroom discussion.  (Articles are available via MyEconLab.com)
3. Online Chapter by Chapter News Archive - We know that the week's news isn't always relevant to the chapter you are on in class.  That's why we keep an extensive archive of all Weekly News Updates, and organize them by chapter.  Before your lecture, simply check the chapter by chapter archive to see if there is something interesting to bring in class that is both timely and relevant to the concepts that are being covered.  (Articles are available via MyEconLab.com) 

Now, names you trust in Economics, Case & Fair, have a brand new edition that continues its history of excellence in economic content and applications with a brand new focus on assessment.

"I often hear that assessing students in this course is one of professors' greatest challenges, would you agree?"

"Professor, are any one of these: end of chapter questions, test bank materials, or on-line homework software important to you?"

Roger Miller believes that students learn best when they are motivated, and that motivation comes when they connect an idea to their day-to-day lives. That is why every chapter of Economics Today is packed with thought-provoking applications that give immediate, common-sense reinforcement to economic concepts. From international to local, corporate to consumer, policy to personal, these examples spark lively discussion both in and out of the classroom. The result is that students gain a natural understanding of economic theory and analysis, and they learn to use economic reasoning in their everyday decisions.

Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets heralded a dramatic shift in the teaching of the money and banking course in its first edition, and today it is still setting the standard. By applying an analytical framework to the patient, stepped-out development of models, Frederic Mishkin draws students into a deeper understanding of modern monetary theory, banking, and policy. His landmark combination of common sense applications with current, real-world events provides authoritative, comprehensive coverage in an informal tone students appreciate. Mishkin’s previous post as Executive Vice President and Director of Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York lends an insiders-view that helps to demystify this key institution for students.



This Alternate Edition of The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets is the ideal choice for courses with limited emphasis on monetary theory—due to a prerequisite course in intermediate macroeconomics or a business school focus.

The leading economists today started out as students taking the Principles course. Parkin writes in a way that reaches out to all students, encouraging them to think like economists from the first week of class. Economics provides a serious, analytical approach to the discipline by introducing the main ideas and then developing those ideas with the latest research, policy, and data. The result is that students learn to apply economics the way real economists do, by evaluating the decisions in their personal, academic, and professional lives.

The Eighth Edition takes a new approach to modern macroeconomic theory with an earlier integration of international topics that gives an accurate picture of how theory is used to guide and evaluate macroeconomic policy. The microeconomics chapters include the latest research, and incorporate a unifying theme related to the tension between self- and social-interest.

Starting in this edition, MyEconLab now includes all of Parkin’s end-of-chapter problems so that assignments can be automatically graded online. MyEconLab in CourseCompass™ provides additional optional customization and communication tools.

Economics offers a novel approach to the principles of economics course based on three pedagogical principles:

• Ongoing assessment is an essential component of the learning process;
• Students understand concepts better when they are presented in the context of engaging stories;
• Students remember more when they connect concepts to what they see or read in the news and what they experience in their every day life.

Quality assessment permeates every component of Economics, the first textbook to offer a class-tested test bank. MyEconLab’s innovative online homework and tutorial system, with its innovative computer-grade graphing exercises, is tightly linked to the text.

O’Sullivan/Sheffrin/Perez 5e uses questions to drive student interest, then applications to illustrate concepts, and then tools to practice economic concepts.

 

Students come into their first Economics course thinking they will better understand the economy around them; the choices our government, international governments, businesses, and individuals make.  Unfortunately, many don’t get answers to those questions when they complete the course.

 

O/S/P uses chapter opening questions, applications that explain and tie to those questions throughout the chapter, and chapter ending tools to help students actively internalize economics.

Maximizing happiness means more than maximizing wealth, and yet many students assume economists only care about "the bottom line." Economics: Private Markets and Public Choice emphasizes that economics is, at its base, about our society's well-being and our individual happiness in all forms, not just profit.

Maximizing happiness means more than maximizing wealth, and yet many students assume economists only care about "the bottom line." Economics: Private Markets and Public Choice emphasizes that economics is, at its base, about our society's well-being and our individual happiness in all forms, not just profit. The authors teach students to apply economic concepts not only to key policy decisions like taxes, inflation, and free trade, but also to personal decisions such as household finance, marriage, and career choices.

Research shows the best way to learn is to put concepts to work with repeated practice. For this reason, frequent, quality practice is the cornerstone of the tightly-knit Essential Foundations of Economics learning system, building student success in economics by doing economics.



First, student attention is focused on what to study through a Checklist of clearly defined core concepts in each chapter. Section by section, Checkpoints demonstrate how to study by stepping through a Practice Problem and then engaging students with a parallel Exercise. In addition, the Third Edition addresses why we study economics through a new feature, Reality Check. With Essential Foundations of Economics, students are taught to view economics as a skill to be honed rather than a collection of topics to be memorized.

Hubbard & O'Brien is the only book that motivates students to learn economics through real business examples.   

The #1 question students of economics ask themselves is: "Why am I here, and will I ever use this"?  Hubbard & O'Brien answer this question by demonstrating that real businesses use economics to make real decisions daily.  This is motivating to all students, whether they are business majors or not.  All students can relate to businesses they encounter in their everyday lives.   Whether they open an art studio, do social work, trade on Wall Street, work for the government, or bartend at the local pub, students will benefit from understanding the economic forces behind their work.

The leading economists today started out as students taking the Principles course. Parkin writes in a way that reaches out to all students, encouraging them to think like economists from the first week of class. Macroeconomics provides a serious, analytical approach to the discipline by introducing the main ideas and then developing those ideas with the latest research, policy, and data. The result is that students learn to apply economics the way real economists do, by evaluating the decisions in their personal, academic, and professional lives.

The Eighth Edition takes a new approach to modern macroeconomic theory with an earlier integration of international topics that gives an accurate picture of how theory is used to guide and evaluate macroeconomic policy. The microeconomics chapters include the latest research, and incorporate a unifying theme related to the tension between self- and social-interest.

Starting in this edition, MyEconLab now includes all of Parkin’s end-of-chapter problems so that assignments can be automatically graded online.

Abel, Bernanke, and Croushore present macroeconomic theory in a way that prepares students to analyze real macroeconomic data used by policy makers and researchers. With a balanced treatment of both classical and Keynesian economics, the comprehensive coverage makes it easy for instructors to align chapters to fit their own syllabi.

Students in this course often struggle to see how the macroeconomic models compare to one another, and fit into the big picture. This text uses a unified approach based on a single economics model that provides students with a clear understanding of macroeconomics and its classical and Keynesian assumptions.

The Sixth Edition includes the latest work in monetary policy and research, offers worked examples to students learning the IS-LM model, and features MyEconLab, the online homework and tutorial program with automatically graded problem sets.

O’Sullivan/Sheffrin/Perez 5e uses questions to drive student interest, then applications to illustrate concepts, and then tools to practice economic concepts.

 

Students come into their first Economics course thinking they will better understand the economy around them; the choices our government, international governments, businesses, and individuals make.  Unfortunately, many don’t get answers to those questions when they complete the course.

 

O/S/P uses chapter opening questions, applications that explain and tie to those questions throughout the chapter, and chapter ending tools to help students actively internalize economics.
