summary: The most common application of observable factor demands is the construction of factor demand curves and the calculation of comparative statics with respect to input and output prices. When the discussion changes to profit maximization and observable factor demands, however, some students begin to question the difference between these two conceptually different factor demands.

summary: Abstract This paper compares the integration of core texts found in two widely used textbooks on the history of economic thought by examining the treatment of two well-known historical texts. The difference in approach between the two authors has pedagogical implications for the role of a history of thought course in the curriculum; in addition it echoes a much older and deeper debate over the use of core texts from the canon.

summary: The first provides a brief description of symbolic computation programs with a focus upon those features that are most likely to be of interest to instructors of intermediate microeconomics and managerial economics. Although the use of symbolic computation programs has become commonplace in science and mathematics, their use in economics seems to be largely confined to research (Varian 1993, 1996) and graduate courses in mathematical economics (Huang and Crooke 1997).

Depending on the asset weights and the difference in the standard deviations between the two assets, even a correlation coefficient of –1.0 won’t necessarily cause portfolio standard deviation and coefficient of variation to be below the standard deviation and coefficient of variation for the lower risk asset held in isolation.

summary: For students enrolled in the Introduction to Psychology course, the mean estimated retail price, the mean price willing-to-pay, and the mean price willing-to-sell exceeded their counterparts for the students enrolled in Principles of Economics courses with the single exception of the willing to sell pizza price. Our use of mean differences between estimated retail price, willingness-to-pay and actual retail price, etc. in Table 3 seeks to clarify how different deadweight measures can change a deadweight loss into a gain.

title: Algebraic Optimization: Marginal Analysis Without Calculus
date: 2018-07-19
words: 5164
flesch: 56
summary: This paper offers a simple algebraic approach to optimization that allows students to extract explicit marginal revenue and marginal cost functions from quadratic total revenue and total cost functions. (12) Because the demand and marginal cost curves are both linear, students can use the basic geometry of Figure 1 (where D indicates the demand curve) to measure the deadweight loss (DWL) as the area of the triangle between the demand and marginal cost curves, from 0 Q to 1 Q .

summary: However, Tietenberg and Lewis (2015) mention the strategy of issue linkage through which cooperation of climate change can be achieved by linking climate change agreements with economic agreements like forgiving international debt, signing free trade agreement, or sharing R&D. 1 |JOURNAL FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATORS, 22(2), 2022 TEACHING CLIMATE CHANGE TO ECON 101 STUDENTS Junaid B. Jahangir1 Abstract There is a growing recognition that ECON 101 does not adequately prepare students to address the pressing issues of our times including climate change.

summary: 21 |JOURNAL FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATORS, 22(2), 2022 Figure 4: Inventories and Net Exports Conclusion This study presents a simple tool to help students understand how inventories are used in GDP calculations. Although I could not find studies that clarify the role of inventories for students, other examples of such clarifications of economic concepts include those by Dupont & Durham (2021) and Picault (2016, 2021).

date: 2023-03-29
words: 10106

summary: Chapter 16 indicates that free trade is not necessarily fair trade and that it relies on cheap energy, which is unsustainable. Overall, the Reardon, Madi, and Cato textbook rejects free trade as beneficial for all contexts and all times, alludes to fair trade and the detrimental impact on the environment, and critiques the unrealistic assumptions of the Ricardian model.

summary: Keywords: price elasticity of demand, FRED, EXCEL, active learning, collaborative problem- solving JEL Classification: A20, A22, C82, D12 Introduction A discussion of elasticity is often introduced as a corollary to supply and demand analysis in the typical Principles of Economics class. Price elasticity is an important concept in economics, and the knowledge of elasticity has applications in both consumer and firm theory (Wei, 2013).

summary: Types of economics tracks offered (N=471) Number of tracks varied substantially across institutions, ranging from 1 to 9, with a mean of 2.01. Simply having a business degree (a competitor) at the institution did not impact number of economics tracks offered, unless business was AACSB accredited.
