Reviewer Quotes

"I think the material is up to date. Especially with the inclusion of new material related to the current recession and mortgage regulation."

"We use MyEconLab. Students will more easily and readily read and study something on a computer screen than they will a book."

"I make use of MyEconLab. It allows students to have more practice and it lightens my marking load."

"The current generation of students is tech savvy and finds online tutorials easy to use. I use both MyEconLab and questions at the end of each chapter for students to check their own progress in the course."

"I find the new section on the Economics of Global Climate Changes clear, effective, and useful. There are a lot of concerns that pollution abatement policies will stifle economic growth."

"I find the material very current and appropriate."

"The two different examples of Absolute and Comparative Advantage give the student the different ways of approaching comparative advantage. I find them very useful and clear."

"I like the way the book develops—the chapters fit together rather than being a random assembly of material."

"The primary reason for me using the text is that it begins with developing the aggregate demand aggregate supply model and then uses the model for analyzing various macroeconomic issues. I find that this makes it easy for students to follow."

"I find the writing style to be very patient (i.e. student understanding is not taken for granted—ideas are carefully fleshed out)."

"It really gives students a clear idea why we are interested in studying different time frames, as students, even in their upper years, have difficulties in understanding the significance of different time horizons and why we care [about] both short-run and long-run."

"The text by Prof. Ragan offers the best presentation of [introductory macroeconomic] material of any competing text."
