What does it mean? This textbook is widely adopted by colleges and universities yet it is frequently used in high school for teaching Advanced Placement*, honors and electives courses. Since high schools frequently adopt for several years, it is important that a textbook can withstand the wear and tear of usage by multiple students. To ensure durab...

We have three main goals for Economics: • Help the beginning student master the principles essential for understanding the economizing problem, specific economic issues, and policy alternatives. • Help the student understand and apply the economic perspective and reason accurately and objectively about economic matters. • Promote a lasting student ...
One of the benefits of writing a successful text is the opportunity to revise—to delete the outdated and in-stall the new, to rewrite misleading or ambiguous state-ments, to introduce more relevant illustrations, to improve the organizational structure, and to enhance the learning aids. We trust that you will agree that we have used this opportun...
We have added new material covering the consumer-choice aspects of behavioral economics to the end of our chapter on Consumer Behavior (Chapter 6 of Economics and Micro-economics). The new material on behavioral economics cov-ers prospect theory, framing effects, loss aversion, anchoring effects, mental accounting, and the endowment effect. The beh...
We have extensively reworked the end-of-chapter Study Questions, splitting them into questions and problems and adding many new problems. The questions are analytic and often ask for free responses, whereas the problems are mainly quantitative. We have aligned the questions and problems with the learning objectives presented at the be-ginning of t...
includes a revised discussion of large populations and the standard of living and updated coverage of the role of gov-ernment in improving the growth prospects of developing countries.
AP Practice Tests On pages AP-1–AP-28 you will find two complete practice tests (one microeconomics and one macroeconomics). These tests can be assigned to students to help prepare them for the AP exam administered in May. Comprehensive Explanations at an Appropriate Level Economics is comprehensive, analytical, and chal-lenging yet fully accessibl...
Study Guide One of the world’s leading experts on eco-nomic education, William Walstad of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, prepared the Study Guide. Many stu-dents find either the printed or digital version indispens-able. Each chapter contains an introductory statement, a checklist of behavioral objectives, an outline, a list of im-portant term...
We give special thanks to Norris Peterson and Randy Grant, who created the “button” content on our Web site. We again thank James Reese of the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg, who wrote the original Internet exercises. Although many of those questions were replaced or modified in the typical course of revision, several re-main virtually...

The Advanced Placement (AP) program was created by the College Board, which also developed the SAT exam. The AP Economics course descriptions and exams are written by the AP Economics Development Committee, which consists of college economic professors and high school teachers with experience teaching the AP Eco-nomics course. This committee has st...
As we explained earlier, each of the AP Economics Exams—microeconomics and macroeconomics—is a two-hour and ten-minute exam. The College Board schedules these exams on the same day in May, with one exam in the morning and one in the afternoon. The multiple-choice section accounts for two-thirds of the score, and a free-response section provides t...
AP Economics responses are quite different from the for-mal essays written for some other AP subjects, which re-quire thesis statements and five-paragraph development structure. AP Economics free-response questions gener-ally consist of a series of questions and sub-questions which can be answered in several sentences. Responses should directly ans...
Because the College Board no longer places an additional penalty on wrong answers, you should answer every ques-tion in the multiple-choice section of the exam. It is best to answer questions in the order they appear, rather than skipping questions throughout the test, out of concern that you might skip a line and mismark subsequent an-swers. Make ...
At the beginning of the free-response portion of the exam, you will have a mandatory ten-minute reading period. Use that time to very carefully review each question. Start to sketch graphs and write notes right on the question page, so you can outline your answers. One key to writing a good free response is to focus on the verbs in the free-respons...
