Synopsis

Guell's Issues in Economics Today presents economic theory brought to life through current issues with an engaging, conversational style. The 9th edition includes 8 theory chapters introducing the core topics in microeconomics and macroeconomics, and a selection of 40 short issues chapters, from which instructors can pick and choose the issues of most interest to their students. This format allows maximum flexibility for instructors to lay a foundation of theory first or dive right into coverage of today's current issues. In addition, issues can be organized along themes such as social policy, health and education policy, election year issues, international issues, and business issues, or combined with outside content. Guell's 9th edition provides content that is timely and relevant for students, flexible enough to fit any course design.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Robert C. Guell (pronounced “Gill”) is a professor of economics at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. He earned a B.A. in statistics and economics in 1986 and an M.S. in economics one year later from the University of Missouri–Columbia. In 1991, he earned a Ph.D. from Syracuse University, where he discovered the thrill of teaching. He has taught courses for freshmen, upper-division undergraduates, and graduate students from the principles level, through public finance, all the way to mathematical economics and econometrics. Dr. Guell has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in scholarly journals. He has worked extensively in the area of pharmaceutical economics, suggesting that the private market’s patent system, while necessary for drug innovation, is unnecessary and inefficient for production. In 1998, Dr. Guell was the youngest faculty member ever to have been given Indiana State University’s Caleb Mills Distinguished Teaching Award. His talent as a champion of quality teaching was recognized again in 2000 when he was named project manager for the Lilly Project to Transform the First-Year Experience, a Lilly Endowment–funded project to raise firstyear persistence rates at Indiana State University. He was ISU’s Coordinator of First-Year Programs until January 2008, when he happily stepped aside to rejoin his department full time. Dr. Guell’s passion for teaching economics led him to request an assignment with the largest impact. The one-semester general education basic economics course became the vehicle to express that passion. Unsatisfied with the books available for the course, he made it his calling to produce what you have before you today―an all-in-one readable issues-based text.
