Microeconomics

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. An Introduction to Macroeconomics: What Macroeconomics Is All About; The Measurement of National Income. The Economy in the Short Run:  The Simplest Short-Run Macro Model; Adding Government and Trade to the  Simple Macro Model; Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand in the Short  Run. The Economy in the Long Run: From the Short Run to the Long  Run: The Adjustment of Factor Prices; The Difference Between Short-Run  and Long-Run Macroeconomics; Long-Run Economic Growth. Money, Banking, and Monetary Policy: Money and Banking; Money, Interest Rates, and Economic Activity; Monetary Policy. Macroeconomic Problems and Policies: Inflation and Disinflation; Unemployment Fluctuations and the NAIRU; Government Debt and Deficits. The United States in the Global Economy: The Gains from International Trade; Trade Policy; Exchange Rates and the Balance of Payments.   For all readers interested in macroeconomics.

The goal of this text has always been to provide students with a solid introduction to the economic issues facing the world today, the methods economists use to study those issues, and the policy problems those issues create. Maintaining the earlier editions' comprehensive examination of the subject, this new edition has been streamlined to make the information more accessible to students. This edition includes updated information on employment, unemployment, the impact of technological change, the costs and benefits of foreign investments, Social Security, debts and deficits, and free trade. The authors have also increased their focus on globalization and international economic growth to expand students' understanding of worldwide issues.
