Inhaltsangabe

For one-semester, freshman/sophomore level courses in Principles of Microeconomics. This modern principles text has a strong foundation in demand and supply, the most important topic in learning and teaching principles of economics. Its improved coverage of change in demand vs. change in quantity demanded (also in supply coverage) enables students to better visualize and truly understand the difference between these two fundamental concepts. Early coverage of comparative advantage and externalities reflects a more modern approach to teaching and understanding the underpinnings of microeconomics.* NEW-Ch. 4 Supply, Demand and Market Equilibrium-This chapter has improved and strengthened coverage of change in demand vs. change in quantity demanded. * Helps better explain the differences between these two concepts for students. The same is also used in the explanation of supply. * NEW-Ch. 6 Market Efficiency and Government Intervention-Carefully explains the concepts of consumer and producer surplus, and uses the concept to discuss the efficiency of competitive markets, the inefficiencies created by price controls, taxi medallions, and import restrictions. * Introduces externalities early in the Micro coverage by using spillovers and the use of a pollution tax as examples. * NEW-Ch. 12 Oligopoly and Strategic Behavior-Covers game theory more extensively by including a deeper discussion of guaranteed price matching, limit pricing and contestable markets. * Makes this usually complex topic very accessible to the first time student. * NEW-Ch. 13. Using Market Power: Price Discrimination and Advertising-Includes a fascinating discussion of price discrimination which students are readily drawn to, and also uses advertising as an example of the marginal principle to discuss profit maximization. * Provides sophisticated material made accessible for undergraduates. * NEW-Ch. 14 Controlling Market Power: Antitrust Policy and Deregulation-Discusses antitrust policy-blocking mergers and breaking up monopolies-using modern examples such as Microsoft, Staples and Office Depot. It discusses deregulation of airlines, telecommunications and in a brand-new section, the deregulation of electricity markets in California, New York, and Pennsylvania. * Uses modern, real world examples to help students grasp these interesting topics. * NEW-Ch. 15 Imperfect Information and Disappearing Markets-In this chapter the authors streamlined presentation has been purposefully written with a beginning economics student in mind. This timely and intriguing topic of imperfect information (the lemons problem) was one of the first to be introduced as a complete chapter in a principles course. Coverage also includes examples of asymmetric information and the notion of moral hazard. * Provides this topic in an accessible and easy to understand manner. Pedagogical Features * NEW-A focus on the 5 key principles of economics-1) Opportunity Cost, 2) The Marginal Principle (comparing marginal benefits and marginal costs), 3) Diminishing Returns, 4) The Spillover Principle (for externalities in production and consumption), 5) The Reality Principle (distinguishing real from nominal magnitudes). * Shows students the logic of economics reasoning an demystifies the tools of economics by returning to these 5 principles repeatedly throughout the text. * NEW-Integration of global material-Introduces global concepts early in the text and interweaves them throughout. * Highlights the globalization of the world economy. Active Learning Tools * NEW-Using the Tools Sections at the end of each chapter.
