A targeted approach focuses students’ learning
· Updated - A unified framework uses a single model, built from a set of core economic ideas (i.e., the production function, the trade-off between consuming today and saving for tomorrow, and supply–demand analysis), to introduce macroeconomic theories and concepts.
· Updated - A balanced presentation of both classical and Keynesian economics allows students to see the complete picture of economic theory, and allows flexibility for professors to teach the course their way.
Features make students aware of their career options and help to develop their employability skills
· New - Lively coverage of a broad spectrum of macroeconomic issues and ideas such as the determinants of long-run economic growth, the trade balance and financial flows, labor markets, and the institutional framework of policy making, ensures students are up-to-date on economic practices and events.
· Real-world applications connect theory to practice, including:
o New and Updated - Applications show students how theory is used to understand real-world macroeconomic phenomena across the world.
o Working with Economic Data empirical problems direct students to appropriate data from economies of different sizes around the globe, using the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’ FRED™ database, so they can develop familiarity and facility with a current data source that they’ll continue to use after completing the course.
o Updated - In Touch with Data and Research boxes include latest research and studies being conducted in different countries and ask students to find and interpret macroeconomic data, like economists would in their careers.
Learning aids enhance students’ understanding
· Learning tools for students aid comprehension and application. Key diagrams in each chapter help students identify the most critical ideas, while extensive end-of-chapter problem sets help to reinforce learning.
· A series of full color graphs illustrate the historical movements of key economic variables.
