Application-Based Activities (ABAs) These immersive decision-making simulations are delivered digitally within the Connect platform and put students in the role of everyday economists. Students practice their economic thinking and problem-solving skills as they apply course concepts and see the implications of their decisions as they go. Each activity is designed as a 15-minute experience that can be replayed by eager students to build intuition.

Comprehensive Explanations at an Appropriate Level Microeconomics is comprehensive, analytical, and challenging, yet fully accessible to a wide range of students. Its thoroughness and accessibility enable instructors to select topics for special classroom emphasis with confidence that students can independently read and comprehend other assigned material in the book. Where needed, an extra sentence of explanation is provided. Brevity at the expense of clarity is false economy.

Fundamentals of the Market System Many economies throughout the world are making difficult transitions from planning systems to market systems. Our detailed description of the institutions and operation of the market system in Chapter 2 (The Market System and the Circular Flow) is even more relevant than before. We pay particular attention to property rights, entrepreneurship, freedom of enterprise and choice, competition, and the role of profits, because these concepts are often misunderstood by beginning students.

Early and Extensive Treatment of Government The public sector is an integral component of modern capitalism. This book introduces the role of government early. Chapter 4 (Market Failures Caused by Externalities and Asymmetric Information) systematically discusses public goods and government policies toward externalities. Chapter 5 (Public Goods, Public Choice, and Government Failure) details the factors that cause government failure.

Extensive Treatment of International Economics We give the principles and institutions of the global economy extensive treatment. Chapter 19 (International Trade) examines specialization and comparative advantage, arguments for protectionism, impacts of tariffs and subsidies, and various trade agreements. Global Perspective boxes add to the international flavour of the book.

Emphasis on Technological Change and Economic Growth This edition continues to emphasize economic growth. Chapter 1 (Limits, Alternatives, and Choices) uses the production possibilities curve to show the basic ingredients of growth.
