Principles of Macroeconomics FOURTH EDITION
- Share to:
The instructor’s material that accompanies the five versions of Mankiw’s Principles of
Economics, Fourth Edition textbooks address the needs of both novice and experienced
instructors. To meet the needs of these two groups, this Instructor’s Manual with
Solutions Manual comprises both chapter outlines and teaching tips as well as solutions
to all of the questions and problems found in the textbook.
Linda Ghent of Eastern Illinois University prepared the main portion of each chapter
including a synopsis of what is new in this edition compared to the third edition. Her
work for each chapter also includes a list of learning objectives and key points. These
items are followed by detailed chapter outlines that focus on the content found in the
textbook. Helpful tips and icons occasionally interrupt these outlines. The bomb icon
(Warnings) indicates areas where students may have particular difficulty with the
material. The light bulb icon (Bright Ideas) offers ideas for presenting the material in a
new or more thoughtful way. Also included in each chapter of the Instructor’s Manual
are classroom activities, developed in part by Charles Stull of Kalamazoo College. Each
activity provides important details to assist in planning as well as clear instructions for
leading the activity. Recommended “Points for Discussion” connect the activity to the
relevant economic concepts discussed in the chapter
