Macroeconomics & Myeconlab Student Access Code Card


en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2009
Still Keeping it Real and More Accessible Than Ever!
Hubbard & O'Brien keeps it real in the third edition with updated examples, data, and end-of-chapter problems, providing the most up-to-date discussion on the recession/financial crisis and the monetary and fiscal policy response.
 
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 book motivates users by demonstrating how real businesses use economics to make real decisions on a daily basis.  It covers the different Market Structures in an intuitive fashion so that readers of all backgrounds and fields can grasp the importance and flow of these concepts.  Chapter opening cases, examples and figures motivate the economic principles covered, while Solved Problems provide models of how to solve an econommic problem - keeping readers focused on the main ideas of each chapter, and preventing them from getting bogged down due to a lack of basic math or "word problem" skills.

Real Features.  This text presents students with everything they need to make economics relevant and understandable.
 
"Do your students ask themselves:  "Why am I here?  When will I use this information?"  How do you motivate them to see that economics is a dynamic, relevant discipline?"
  • Real world business chapter opening cases - 16 new, 14 revised in this edition - set a real context for learning, spark students' interest, and provide a unifying theme for the chapter by showing how the economic concepts about to be learned impact a real business.
  • Personal Dimension:  Economics in Your Life - 16 new, 14 revised in this edition - was added to each chapter opener to create a personal dimension to the material for students.  This feature poses questions to students for them to think about and in the end of the chapter the authors answer the questions posed.
  • Inside Look - 30 of which are new to this edition - ends each chapter with a newspaper article illustrating how a key principle in the chapter was used by the chapter-opening case company to make a real business decision.  The authors provide an analysis of the article, corresponding graph (s), and Thinking Critically exercises.
  • Making the Connection - over half of which are new - helps students see how the information they are learning has been used in real economic situation.
"How are your students' basic problem solving skills?  Are they comfortable with "word problems"?  Do they know where to begin solving an applied economics problem?  Do you find that many of the questions you get are less related to real economics, and more related to a lack of problem-solving skills?"
 
  • Updated Solved Problems throughout provide models of how to solve an economic problem by breaking it down step-by-step.  Each solved problem includes a problem statement, delineated steps to solve the problem, a graph, and a "Your Turn" feature directing students to a related end-of-chapter problem(s) for immediate practice.  This keeps students focused on the main ideas of each chapter, and prevents them from getting bogged down due to a lack of basic math or "word problem" skills.
  • MyEconLab integrated throughout brings the text to life for students just when they need it!  Through MyEconLab students can access additional, interactive versions of the problems they are working to ensure their mastery of the concepts.
  • Flexible Presentation of Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply.  After receiving a lot of positive feedback on the approach to the aggregate demand - aggregate supply model, Hubbard & O'Brien is even more flexible in its presentation of AD-AS.  This text also includes layered, full-color acetate for the Dynamic AD-AS Model and basic AD-AS graphs that make it possible to omit Dynamic AD-AS.

Now, one of  the only Principles of Economics texts with the new 2005 base year macro data!  Glenn Hubbard & Tony O'Brien updated the macro data from a 2000 base year to a 2005 base year to conform to the very recent change at the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  Many macro instructors put great store in having up-to-date statistics available for students.  Instructors want the numbers in the book to match the numbers students may encounter in papers or online, particuarly if they are using articles or online data in class!
