<p>In recent years, innovative texts in mathematics, science, foreign languages, and other fields have achieved dramatic pedagogical gains by abandoning the traditional encyclopedic approach in favor of attempting to teach a short list of core principles in depth. Two well-respected writers and researchers, Bob Frank and Ben Bernanke, have shown that the less-is-more approach affords similar gains in introductory economics. Although recent editions of a few other texts have paid lip service to this new approach, Frank/Bernanke is by far the best thought out and best executed principles text in this mold. Avoiding excessive reliance on formal mathematical derivations, it presents concepts intuitively through examples drawn from familiar contexts. The authors introduce a well-articulated short list of core principles and reinforcing them by illustrating and applying each in numerous contexts.Students are periodically asked to apply these principles to answer related questions, exercises, and problems. The text also encourages students to become "Economic Naturalists," people who employ basic economic principles to understand and explain what they observe in the world around them. An economic naturalist understands, for example, that infant safety seats are required in cars but not in airplanes because the marginal cost of space to accommodate these seats is typically zero in cars but often hundreds of dollars in airplanes. Such examples engage student interest while teaching them to see each feature of their economic landscape as the reflection of an implicit or explicit cost-benefit calculation.</p>

Principles of Macroeconomics

"Principles of Economics, European Edition", develops the well regarded US textbook by Frank and Bernanke to reflect the issues and context of economics in Europe. The book presents concepts intuitively using examples drawn from familiar contexts. It relies throughout on a well articulated shortlist of 12 core principles which are reinforced by real-world examples. Review questions, exercises and problems encourage students to apply these principles in a variety of contexts. The text encourages students to become "economic naturalists", people who employ basic economic principles to understand and explain what they observe in the world around them. The "economic naturalist" approach helps students develop concepts and illustrates their applications in a real world setting.This edition includes an extended chapter on oligopoly theory within the microeconomics section. Core Principles are emphasised throughout the text to reinforce key ideas. An Active Learning Approach, with exercises, review questions and problems in every chapter, encourage students to apply their knowledge as they work through the topics.
