Résumé

Essentials of Economics delivers a concise and balanced introduction to modern economics. Designed for the one-semester course, the fifth edition combines a solid foundation of theory with real-world examples, applications, and data. Gregory explores numerous modern topics in a non-technical manner, including a new chapter on the economics of the Internet and e-Commerce. Coverage of modern microeconomics sets the stage for a discussion of macroeconomics, providing a logical sequence that parallels how the field evolved.

Features

Micro chapters cover information theory and contemporary industrial organization theory, and provide a comprehensive treatment of traditional microeconomics.
A unique three-chapter Part 3 builds up the microfoundations of macroeconomics. For example, Chapter 8, The Labor Market begins with the supply and demand of labor and builds up to theory of unemployment.
Macro chapters integrate modern aggregate supply and demand analysis, expectations theory, contracting and the natural rate hypothesis; analyze the different views of aggregate supply in the short and long runs; and discuss the activism-nonactivism policy debate.
Boxed applications and examples that illustrate theory throughout the Microeconomics chapters.
Real-world data and policy examples reinforce theoretical concepts of Macroeconomics.
