Description

When asked to describe this text, most Lipsey readers use the same word:precise.The authors do not gloss over subjects when presenting economic ideas; rather, they offer a patient explanation of the concept and back it up with the latest research and data. Taken separately, neither theory nor data alone can give readers a true understanding of the idea, but when combined these elements give students a complete view of economics in the real world. What is Economics?:Economic Issues and Concepts; How Economists Work.An Introduction to Demand and Supply:Demand, Supply, and Price; Elasticity; Markets in Action.Consumers and Products:Consumer Behavior; Producers in the Short Run; Producers in the Long Run.Market Structure and Efficiency:Competitive Markets; Monopoly, Cartels, and Price Discrimination; Imperfect Competition and Strategic Behavior; Economic Efficiency and Public Policy.Factor Markets:How Factor Markets Work; Labor Markets; Interest Rates and the Capital Market.Government in the Market Economy:Market Failures and Government Intervention; The Economics of Environmental Protection; Taxation and Public Expenditure.The United States in the Global Economy:The Gains from International Trade; Trade Policy.
