Using economic experiments, this work acts as a supplement to any microeconomics text. It offers real-world explanations to aid the understanding of economic concepts.
This workbook aims to get students involved with and excited about economic concepts. Based on the interactive classroom trend in economics education, the text includes 13 experiments, each designed to teach a major topic by encouraging active student participation. Each experiment involves the student in reading an introduction, collecting data and filling out a laboratory report, discussing findings, and completing coursework designed to reinforce key concepts. Learning objectives, worked examples, self-test exercises, and a key terms list are also included.
This book provides an easy to follow guide to economic experiments and specifically those that explore notions of fairness, altruism and trust in economic transactions and how findings in the field can change the way we approach a variety of economic problems.

The most successful first edition of a principles of economics text in Prentice Hall history. The authors build a framework for economic reasoning on the Five Principles of Economics then moves the student from memorization to understanding by applying these simple, intuitive and memorable principles repeatedly throughout the text in an "active learning" environment (Economic Experiments, Economic Detective, Using the Tools). The goal is for student to not only think like economists, but to act like economists. The economics analysis is rigorous yet accessible to the average student. The macroeconomics organization is modern and balanced, with equal weight given to showing how they are linked. WebCT, Blackboard, myPHLIP supported.
