Synopsis

The Study Guide by Mark Rush of the University of Florida is carefully coordinated with the text, MyEconLab, and the Test Banks. Each chapter of the Study Guide contains:

• Helpful hints
• True/false/uncertain questions
• Multiple-choice questions
• Short-answer questions
• Common questions or misconceptions that the student explains as if he or she were the teacher

Each part allows students to test their cumulative understanding with questions that go across chapters and work a sample midterm examination. Students can purchase the Study Guide from our online catalog or from MyPearsonStore.

About this title

About the Author

Robin Bade was a high school teacher in math and physics before enrolling at the Australian National University, where she graduated with a Ph.D. in economics. Since then, she has held faculty appointments at Bond University in Australia, University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and Universities of Manitoba, Toronto, and Western Ontario in Canada.

Bade¿s research has appeared in the International Economic Review and the Economic Record. In a joint effort with her husband, Michael Parkin, the couple created the Bade-Parkin index of central bank independence that spawned a vast amount of further research. Their pioneering work has contributed to the movement towards greater independence of central banks around the world.

Bade currently teaches at the University of Western Ontario, and is dedicated to the challenge of explaining economics ever more clearly to an ever-expanding body of students.

Michael Parkin began teaching immediately after graduating with a B.A. from the University of Leicester, England. He has taught economics all his professional life, and is currently professor of economics at the University of Western Ontario in Canada.He is past president of the Canadian Economics Association, and has served on the editorial boards of the American Economic Review and the Journal of Monetary Economics.Parkin has conducted extensive research, both on his own and with his wife, Robin Bade, which has resulted in more than 160 publications in journals and edited volumes, including the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, and the Review of Economic Studies, among others He is the author of the best selling textbook, Economics, now in its sixth edition.
