The Rational Consumer: Theory and Evidence

The Rational Consumer brings together eight articles that represent key points in the development of Robert Hall's ideas on consumption over the past two decades. Since the late 1960s, Robert Hall's research has had a significant impact on the macroeconomic study of consumer behavior. The Rational Consumer brings together eight articles that represent key points in the development of Hall's ideas on consumption over the past two decades. In his introduction, Hall puts this work into perspective, tying together his ideas and pointing to how consumer behavior should work in the future given what he has discovered.Working within the standard intertemporal models of consumption - the overlapping generations model and the infinite lifetime model - Hall's contributions to methodology have been especially important. Particularly noteworthy was his challenge to the prevalent model in which current consumption was seen as deriving from expected future income. Hall argued that consumption was, instead, based upon the actual present discounted value of future income.ContentsIntroduction • The Allocation of Wealth among the Generations of a Family that Lasts Forever - A Theory of Inheritance • The Dynamic Effects of Fiscal Policy in an Economy with Foresight • Consumption Taxes versus Income Taxes: Implications for Economic Growth • Stochastic Implications of the Life Cycle-Permanent Income Hypothesis: Theory and Evidence • The Sensitivity of Consumption to Transitory Income: Estimates from Panel Data on Households (with Frederic S.

Microeconomics: Principles and Applications provides a lively, rigorous introduction to basic economic theory and its applications. It has been carefully crafted in terms of both content and supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis. Its objective is to be a study tool for students and a complement to, rather than a substitute for the instructor. Pedagogy and applications are designed to maintain a focus on the fundamentals while allowing instructors the flexibility to bring in additional material as they choose. In-text Internet links and a dedicated Web site provide opportunities and exercises for students to access and analyze additional real-world economic applications. This text is available in combined micro/macro hardcover and in softcover split versions.

HALL, Robert

Lieberman,Marc

South-Western College Pub.

Departing from the encyclopedic nature of most Principles texts, which encourages students to simply memorize concepts and see economics as a collection of unrelated terms, formulas, graphs, and theories, this text provides students with a picture of economics as a unified discipline; a set of interrelated tools and ideas that can be used to look at the world in a different way.  This book's concise, less is more approach has been carefully crafted in terms of both content and supporting pedagogy to keep students focused on learning and applying the central ideas used in economic analysis.  It uniquely employs a simple methodology throughout to emulate how economists look at problems, and teaches students how to use this same analytical process in developing their own economic analysis skills.  Hall/Lieberman's careful focus on core theoretical ideas as well as systematically applying the theoretical tools to interesting real-world questions conveys the message that economics is an integrated, powerful body of knowledge that can be used to address important issues.

Macroeconomics: Principles and Applications

A distinguished economist tackles the mysteries of the new world of e-commerce, explaining the principles of e-market systems, assessing how the major deal-making methods can determine the success or failure of an enterprise, and how information from various sources will help entrepreneurs make the most out of Internet business opportunities.

Digital Dealing: How E-Markets Are Transforming the Economy

W.W. Norton & Co., Inc.

In Principles of Macroeconomics, noted economist and teacher John Taylor unravels sophisticated material by combining clear, straightforward writing with annotated graphs and real-life examples that drive students' interest in modern economic theory. Taylor's unique approach to macroeconomics (covering long-run fundamentals before short-term economic fluctuations) helps students establish a firm grounding in the basic determinants of growth before they are introduced to the fluctuations that can occur even during periods of steady growth. The Student Technology Package is automatically bundled for free with all new copies of the textbook sold in the U.S. This package includes access to both SMARTHINKING online tutoring and the student textbook web site, as well as the Taylor Tutorial CD-ROM and a Technology Guide.

Macroeconomics

The keys to understanding the machinations of the markets writ large, contend the authors, is rational expectations. It may seem entirely reasonable to suggest and to suppose the a population en bloc will display tendencies that spring from anticipated reactions to their actions,but the notion was resisted mightily by theoreticians who preferred to consult their charts ratherr than the prevailing winds.That is not to say that there is no firm mathematical grounding in these theories; indeed there is, and in plenty, but there is also verification in observed behavior. Hall and Taylor had the burden of proof to support their then novel theories, and one can suppose that they supplied more than enough evidence.Young economists and enlightened humanists, as well as mathematicians and statisticians will find much to satisfy their disciplines, and they must all be careful to take what is presented in small bites lest they find themselves having bitten off more than they can comfortably...chew.
