BERGSTROM wydawnictwo: MCGRAW-HILL , rok wydania 2006, wydanie III cena netto: 375.00 Twoja cena 356,25 zł + 5% vat - dodaj do koszyka Modular packaging options are offered through Primis.Individual chapters may be custom
published and wrapped with any Irwin/McGraw-Hill principles of economics textbook.
Experiments similar to these are available online at EconX. This is the option for those
who prefer paper and pencil.
Some experiments are shortened. Busy work is de-emphasized in favor of more attention to
learning concepts
Answers to the warm-up exercises are now included at the end of the text. These provide
instant reinforcement as the student becomes comfortable with the experiment's procedures
More real-world explanations in the discussion sections of each chapter help the student
better understand the economic concepts
Experiments can be conducted in an ordinary classroom without special equipment. Topics
covered are those typically taught in a Microeconomics course: Supply, demand, market
equilibria, taxes, price floors and ceilings, externalities, monopolies, and comparative
advantage. Students are engaged in active learning and theory is brought to life via the
laboratory experiment.
While the text is meant to supplement any microeconomics principles text, it can and has
been used by itself. "Discussion Sections" give an abbreviated treatment of
economic theory relevant to completing the experiment.
Each experiment contains instructions and a warm-up exercise that helps students think
about the decisions they will be making in the experiment. Thus, the experiment is put
into a context before it is performed to highlight its significance and to enhance student
understanding.
"Lab Reports" for each experiment ask students to analyze data from the
experiment and think about economic implications. On completing their lab reports, the
students can organize their findings and report their findings at the next class meeting.
In discussion groups, the students look for a theoretical explanation of what happened and
explore other applications in the real world.
At the end of the chapter, there is a homework assignment that will help students solidify
the ideas that have been explored.
The Instructor's Manual is essential for instructors who are new to using experiments to
teach economics.
A continually updated website provides new ideas and a place to share experiences with
others who use the experimental approach: http://zia.hss.cmu.edu/miller/eep/eep.html
Flexibility for instructor and student.
