Target Market: for the 1 semester principles of macroeconomics course.

 

One of the all time best-sellers, this text is widely used because of its careful, streamlined, and intuitive chapter organization.

 

The Keynesian Cross is an integral part of this text.  Case & Fair believe strongly, that a text should use the Keynesian Cross carefully and systematically, to build up to the AD/AS model.  One of the great benefits of this approach, is that students won't mistakenly apply what they learned about simple demand and supply to aggregate demand & supply.  (A detailed summary of this approach can be found on the page directly following the inside front cover).

Do you think the Keynesian Cross should be integrated more thoroughly into principles text?  "Are you tired of books that relegate Keynesian Cross coverage to "optional" chapters?

Other Points of Distinction

 

"Do you think that newspaper and magazine articles can be an effective tool for motivating the concepts taught in principles of economics?  Is it ever challenging to find a recent article that ties into the week's lecture? 

 

With Case & Fair you and your students have three carefully integrated, and easy to use, sources for gathering and integrating the news into lecture or homework:

  • In Text News Analysis - The authors have taken real news articles from The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist, and others, and have strategically integrated them into their text, in a feature called News Analysis.  In this new edition, the authors have also added homework problems for News Analysis articles at the end of the chapter. (Example: P. 71 Mad Cow Disease Cuts Demand for Cattle, with Problem 12 on P. 75)
  • Online Weekly News Updates - In addition to the news articles in the text, the Case & Fair also brings you two new articles each week, one for Microeconomics and one for Macroeconomics.  Each update includes a direct link to the original web source, a summary, and a set of critical thinking questions that can be assigned or used to open classroom discussion.  (Articles are available via MyEconLab.com)
  • Online Chapter by Chapter News Archive - We know that the week's news isn't always relevant to the chapter you are on in class.  That's why we keep an extensive archive of all Weekly News Updates, and organize them by chapter.  Before your lecture, simply check the chapter by chapter archive to see if there is something interesting to bring in class that is both timely and relevant to the concepts that are being covered.  (Articles are available via MyEconLab.com) 

 "Professor, are any one of these: end of chapter questions, test bank materials, or on-line homework software important to you?"

 

Now, names you trust in Economics, Case & Fair, have a brand new edition that continues its history of excellence in economic content and applications with a brand new focus on assessment.

  • MyEconLab--this on-line, self graded homework, tutorial, and testing software is now available with Case/Fair's Economics 8e.  Make your life easier by creating on-line homework for your students, as well as, save time with the guided solutions and eText offered in the tutorial and homework sections of the software.  The software and text are fully integrated.  In addition, The FULL eTEXT for Case and Fair's Economics 8e is available in MyEconLab for $60!
  • Updated and Expanded End of Chapter Material--the end of chapter material has been expanded and updated so you can deliver the best questions for your students to learn the material in the class. See the end of any chapter.
  • Case & Fair's TWO YEAR TEST BANK--use Case & Fair's TWO YEAR TEST BANK so you can make new quizzes and tests in year 1 and year 2 of using the Case and Fair text.  This strategy cuts down on shared tests between students. The test banks have been completely revised and updated with new questions.  Test bank #1 has all computer gradable questions for you to assign in year 1, Test Bank #2 has all computer gradable questions for you to assign in year 2, and Test Bank #3 has open ended, fill-in, and essay questions so you can use odd questions in year one and even questions in year 2.

"I often hear that assessing students in this course is one of professors' greatest challenges, would you agree?"

"Professor, are any one of these: end of chapter questions, test bank materials, or on-line homework software important to you?"

 "Professor, do you get to the Growth Chapter in Case & Fair, Macroeconomics, with your students?" 

 

Case & Fair boasts expanded Coverage of Growth in Chapter 18.

  • Growth is a topic where the use of many real world examples can help students to understand how economics works in the world around them.  It is also a more modern way to look at Macroeconomics.  Case & Fair have revised their coverage in this chapter to reflect the changes and highlight the topics students will find most interesting.  Pages XX

 "Professor, do you like to use examples from the newspaper to drive economic concepts home with your students?"

 

Case & Fair have revised over 80% of their "News Analysis" boxes to reflect the most current news articles.

  • Currency is critical to an economics course, as well as, stong applications.  Case & Fair has revised their top notch "News Analysis" feature to reflect the most current news examples to illustrate the economic concepts in their book.
