This item has been replaced by Foundations of Macroeconomics plus MyEconLab plus eBook 1-semester Student Access Kit, 4/E.

Foundations of Macroeconomics was developed on the premise that economics is a core competency for the responsible citizen and a foundation tool for every type of career.

The Bade/Parkin package is designed to encourage learning by doing. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of core concepts that are called out in the beginning-of-chapter Checklist. Students know what they're expected to learn and are given the chance to apply those lessons to real-world problems.

Practice is the cornerstone of the innovative Bade/Parkin approach. A full page Checkpoint—containing a Practice Problem with solution and a parallel Exercise—immediately follows each main idea. Checkpoints serve as stopping points and encourage students to practice using a concept before moving on.

Different learning styles need different learning tools, and Bade/Parkin's extensive and tightly integrated web environment puts students in the driver's seat and allows them to use technology in the way that suits them best.

Focus on Core Concepts—Each chapter of Foundations of Macroeconomics concentrates on three or four core concepts that are called out in the beginning-of-chapter Checklists. Students remember more of what's important and are better able to use their knowledge to approach and solve problems.

Checkpoints—Each section of a chapter develops one core concept and is immediately followed by a full page Checkpoint containing a Practice Problem with solution and a parallel Exercise. Checkpoints serve as stopping points and encourage students to practice using a concept before moving on.

Diagrams That Tell the Whole Story—Because understanding graphs is so important to students' understanding of economics, Foundations of Macroeconomics uses color to show the direction of shifts in graphs and detailed, numbered captions that direct students' attention step-by-step through the action.

MyEconLab for Bade/Parkin—This text-specific online suite of tools, powered by Blackboard, contains an eText, eStudy Guide, Foundations Interactive Tutorial, Economics in the News, Research Navigator and the powerful course management tools of CourseCompass. Free with the purchase of a new textbook, and available for purchase online or standalone in the bookstore.

eText—The online eText features interactive quizzes and links to the eStudy Guide and Foundations Interactive Tutorial.

Online eStudy Guide—Correlated to each Checkpoint, the eStudy Guide features additional review and opportunities for practice and self-assessment.

Foundations Interactive Tutorial—This powerful online tutorial allows students to manipulate variables, draw graphs, review, and self-test.

Flash animation—All online figures and graphs are animated using Flash, and supported by streaming audio.

Economics In the News—Updated daily during the semester, this online link to a current news story is accompanied by questions written by the textbook author.

Office Hours—Students can email their questions to the authors and receive a response within 24 hours.

New hardcover Economics edition and Essentials split. Foundations of Economics is now offered as a single, hardcover volume as well as in micro and macro splits. An Essentials split for a one-semester course covering both micro and macro is also available.

More prominent placement of early AS-AD coverage. An overview of the AS-AD model appears in Chapter 8 to serve as the over-arching model for understanding macroeconomic performance. The model is developed in detail in Chapter 14.

Simplified coverage of money and inflation (ch 13). Careful revisions have led to a stronger explanation of the relationship between money growth and inflation in the long run and the distinction between short-and long-run equilibrium in the money market.

Thorough yet self-contained and optional coverage of Keynesian cross. A thorough presentation of the Keynesian cross is located entirely within Chapter 15 and its appendix for those who wish to teach it; for those who do not, the chapter is entirely optional.

Expanded explanation of supply side effects of fiscal policy, plus a discussion of the Bush 2003 tax proposals and an account of the 2001-2002 interest rate cuts (ch 16).

New coverage of the stabilization policy debate, including new discussions of price targeting, the Taylor rule, and the McCallum rule (ch 18).

Expanded end-of-chapter exercises. Three pages per chapter include two pages of analytical Exercises and one page of Critical Thinking and Web exercises.

MyEconLab for Bade/Parkin is an extensive online teaching and learning system consisting of tightly integrated student resources—most created by Robin Bade and Michael Parkin—and powerful instructor tools.

Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

Economics is a subject you learn by doing. Foundations of Macroeconomics breaks the mold of a traditional text and becomes a practice-oriented learning system. Each chapter uses a Checklist to focus students’ attention on the most important key concepts. A discrete section introduces each of these core concepts and is immediately followed by a Checkpoint, a full page of practice that applies the concept. The result is a patient, confidence-building approach that prepares students to use economics in their lives, regardless of what their future career will be.

Many instructors turn to online assessment in MyEconLab as a way to encourage practice without needing to grade homework by hand. Bade and Parkin have written online versions of their Checkpoints and end-of-chapter problems in MyEconLab so that there is complete synchronicity between the content online and in the text.
