Features that focus on real-world economics and current global issues • Economics in Action Boxes feature uses boxes within the chapter to provide data and information that links models to real-world economic activity. Some of the issues covered in these boxes include the best affordable choice of recorded music, movies and DVDs, the cost of selling a pair of shoes, how Apple doesn’t make the iPhone, opposing trends in air pollution and carbon concentration, structural unemployment in Michigan, how loanable funds fuel a home price bubble, and the size of the fiscal stimulus multipliers. Economics in the News helps students think like economists by connecting chapter tools and concepts to the world around them.

“Reading Between the Lines”, a Parkin hallmark feature, as been re-branded as Economics in the News. Economics in the News is both integrated where appropriate in the chapter, and at the end of every chapter. At the end of each chapter (except the first), the feature shows students how to apply the tools they have learned by analyzing an article from a newspaper or Website. In addition, additional Economics in the News features appear where appropriate in each chapter. These present a brief news clip, supported by data and fact, before exploring economic questions and answers to those questions. • Eleven At Issue boxes, three of which are new, engage the student in debate and controversy. An At Issue box introduces an issue and then presents two opposing views.

It leaves the matter unsettled so that the student and instructor can continue the argument in class and reach their own conclusions. • Interviews with Economists show students that people just like them have gone on to change the landscape of economic history. At the end of each part, a captivating interview with one of today’s leading economists shows what inspired that person to pursue a career in economics. With relevant advice geared toward beginners, students see how real people can make a difference in the discipline.This edition has new interviews with Esther Duflo (MIT) and Raj Chetty (Harvard).

With a consistent and meaningful use of color, each and every figure has been designed with the needs of students in mind. Graphs are paired with data tables, color-blended arrows show movement, diagrams are labeled with boxed notes, and extended captions provide study and review. Worked Problem are part of the chapter review, and allow the student to have an opportunity to work a multi-part problem that covers the core content of the chapter and consists of questions, solutions, and key figures.

This new feature increases the incentive for the student to learn-by-doing and actively, rather than passively, review the chapter. • In-text Review Quizzes reinforce major concepts.

Sections end with short Review Quizzes that test students’ knowledge of the topics just discussed. These questions can be assigned and auto-graded in MyEconLab, which is a convenient way to encourage students to read the chapter before coming to class. • End-of-Chapter Study Material. Each chapter closes with a concise summary organized by major topics, lists of key terms with page references, and problems and applications. These learning tools provide students with a summary for review and exam preparation. Content Updates • NEW! A reorganized and renamed Chapter 16, Public Choices, Public Goods, and Healthcare, opens with a new discussion of public choices and the political market place and the reasons why healthcare features so prominently in public choices.

A reorganized Chapter 17 brings together all the material on externalities (both negative and positive). A major section on negative externalities describes and analyzes the problem of carbon emission and climate change and includes an account of the prisoners’ dilemma that arises in coping with global externalities.

Chapter 24, Finance, Saving, and Investment, has an expanded section on the global financial crisis and its aftermath that describes the growth of household debt and house prices. Chapter 26, The Exchange Rate and the Balance of Payments, contains a heavily revised section entitled Arbitrage, Speculation, and Market Fundamentals that explains the powerful forces that equilibrate the foreign exchange market in the short run and the long run.
