Produktbeschreibung

Modern Principles means modern content and modern delivery and Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok deliver with a knack for revealing the 'invisible hand' of economics at work and a unique combination of vivid writing, up-to-date relevant examples and unparalleled online resources, perfect for your principles of economics course. Modern Principles of Macroeconomics places an emphasis on the power of incentives which underscores how economics helps us understand why we do what we do (in other words, the decisions we make in the face of incentives in the real world). These are brought to life via examples including a discussion of housing prices and the elasticity of supply, the declining labor force participation rate of young men, the platform economics of free goods like Facebook and Twitter, monetary policy in a pandemic and the politics and economics of trade in the Trump era. Modern Principles of Macroeconomics is supported by Achieve, which includes: - 170+ Marginal Revolution University videos to support you along the learning pathway - Animated pre-lecture tutorials will help you to understand core economic topics before going to class - Access to an eBook for easy reading and searching - LearningCurve adaptive quizzing offers practice questions to check your understanding and provides feedback to ensure you have grasped the concepts - Step-by-Step graphs and Discovering Data activities allow you to work step-by-step through scenarios so that you can see economic principles in action
