ADAPTIVE TEST PREP PREPARES YOUR STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS ON IMPORTANT TESTS. This effective, digital test preparation tool within MindTap provides students with more than 3,900 current, test questions. More than half of these questions offer corresponding Quick Coach videos to support students at their most teachable moments, when they are confused or unsure about the answer to a question.

GRAPH BUILDER MOVES STEP-BY-STEP THROUGH COMPLEX GRAPHICAL FIGURES. Designed specifically for introductory economics students, these interactive exercises in MindTap help students understand complex graphs by decomposing a graph into finite steps that build upon one another. Students then practice graphing by drawing a similar scenario from scratch. This drawing method supports the valuable kinesthetic learning approach -- all within the context of the interactive eBook.

CURRENT "VIDEO APPLICATIONS" FEATURE THE AUTHOR INTRODUCING CHAPTER CONTENT. Author Gregory Mankiw uses these unique videos to introduce important themes in every chapter. He immediately engages students with an emphasis on the real-world importance of the economic principles that appear in the upcoming chapter. These videos prompt a better understanding of how economics relate to students' day-to-day lives and the world around them.

ENHANCED INTERACTIVE EBOOK STRENGTHENS THE ECONOMIC LEARNING EXPERIENCE. The interactive eReader for this edition does much more than simply offer words on a digital device. Students can search, highlight text, take notes and interact directly with complex figures. The eReader also supports media from Cengage Learning or third-party media providers, such as YouTube. In addition, this resource is now more accessible to visually-impaired students with new alternative text added to all images and tables in every chapter.

"CONCEPT CLIPS" HELP STUDENTS MASTER ECONOMICS TERMS. These high energy videos, embedded throughout the interactive eBook, address the known student challenge of understanding economics terminology when initially introduced to the subject matter. Developed by Professor Mike Brandl of Rice University, these concept-based animations provide students with memorable context to the key terminology required for your introductory economics course.

INTERACTIVE POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS EASE YOUR COURSE PREPARATION WHILE INCREASING STUDENT INVOLVEMENT. Current chapter-by-chapter slides organize lecture points into sections that students can easily digest. These updated PowerPoint slides animate graphs the way you might draw them and include Student Note Prompt handouts to facilitate effective note-taking without distracting students from active participation in class.

Now in its tenth edition, Managerial Economics introduces the complex decision problems facing today's managers, equipping undergraduates, MBAs, and executives with the economic knowledge and analytical skills required to solve these problems. Going beyond the traditional academic approach to teaching economic analysis, this comprehensive textbook favors practical examples and skills rather than theoretical treatments, illustrating how managers use various economic methods in the modern business environment.

Designed to strengthen critical thinking skills, each chapter opens with a central managerial problem that challenges readers to consider and evaluate possible choices and concludes with a detailed review and analysis of the decision using the concepts introduced in the chapter. Numerous decision-making examples, mini-cases, end-of-chapter problems, and real-world applications reinforce students' quantitative understanding without overwhelming them with an excessive amount of mathematics.

Proofed and tested using thousands of students and hundreds of professors, Managerial Economics, Tenth Edition, remains the perfect textbook for foundational economics courses in undergraduate business programs, advanced undergraduate courses in managerial economics, and courses in MBA and executive education programs.

The nonrivalry of ideas gives rise to increasing returns--a fact celebrated in Paul Romer's recent Nobel Prize. One implication is that the long-run rate of economic growth is the product of the degree of increasing returns and the growth rate of research effort; this is the essence of semi-endogenous growth theory.

One of the key revisions for the 6th edition of Chad Jones' Macroeconomics is an updated Romer model that captures this insight. In this talk, Jones explores the motivations behind the updates to his textbook, and applies his framework to the past and future of economic growth.

Two members of the Norton Economics team will walk instructors through how to get started with the assignable, digital resources for Mateer and Coppock's Principles of Economics, Fourth Edition, as well as the Norton Teaching Tools for the text.

Using the research explored in their Norton Learning Blog post and their recent paper in SSRN, Dirk Mateer and Wayne Geerling will discuss the unique challenges posed by artificial intelligence and natural language processing models in the economics classroom. Informed by their decades of teaching the principles course, Dirk and Wayne will present ideas for adapting both instruction and assessments in ways that circumvent the tempting (but potentially harmful) shortcuts offered to students by AI.

Cryptocurrencies had an awful year in 2022, and their future doesn't look very bright. Prices crashed because of huge, unanticipated disasters such as the Terra collapse and the FTX bankruptcy, and these events also crushed many people's confidence in both crypto assets and decentralized finance. In addition, regulators around the globe are cracking down on cryptocurrencies and scrambling to keep them out of the mainstream financial system.

In this talk, Professor Fullenkamp breaks down the main problems in the crypto ecosystem using fundamental concepts from economics and finance and describes how cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance will have to evolve in order to survive.

To a shocking degree, much of our public policy discourse neglects the most basic concepts in economics. For example, the public reaction to COVID-19 has been devoid of explicit discussion of the fundamental idea underlying economics: tradeoffs. Our tax code bears little resemblance to what basic public finance would suggest. The world is moving away from the free flow of goods, services, and labor (which, beginning around 1990, delivered the sharpest drop in global poverty in the history of human civilization). A generation of young people is advocating for "socialism" without much sense of what that term means and with little appreciation of the benefit of markets.

Join Professor Lee Coppock (University of Virginia), coauthor of Principles of Macroeconomics, Third Edition, COVID-19 Update, for a lecture on economic growth, which will cover concepts from Chapter 11: Economic Growth and the Wealth of Nations.

Join Professor Brian O'Roark (Roger Morris University), coauthor of Essentials of Economics, Second Edition, for a lecture on externalities and public goods, which will cover concepts from Chapter 10: Government in the Economy.

Join Professor Dirk Mateer (University of Texas at Austin), coauthor of Principles of Microeconomics, Third Edition, COVID-19 Update, for a lecture on business costs and production, which will cover concepts from Chapter 8: Business Costs and Production.
