Description

Students learn best when they see a concept applied in the context of examples they understand. That is why Economics Today: The Micro View is so successful in classrooms where students hail from a wide variety of majors, backgrounds, and ages. An abundance of relentlessly current, news-worthy examples motivate every chapter and reflect the interests of today’s diverse student population. In this new edition, Miller has responded to the way students use their textbook as a study tool by incorporating new pedagogy to help students study effectively and by giving them more opportunities to practice.

Features

Five types of boxed examples—international, policy, e-commerce, international policy, and daily life—are based on current topics that students want to read. This edition features current issues such as vaccine shortages in recent years and the debate over Social Security private accounts.

The beginning of each chapter gives students a quick snapshot of a relevant issue, and the chapter ends with an Issues & Applications section that explores that same issue in depth using the economic concepts from that chapter. These effective bookends provide a coherent framework to enhance learning in each chapter.
The balance of Keynesian and Classical analysis gives instructors the flexibility to teach the models and schools of thought they want to include in their course.
Exposure to the global economy is achieved through strong international chapters and consistent use of international applications.
Entire chapters are devoted to high-interest applications such as unions and labor markets; income, poverty, and health care; and environmental economics.
Economics Front & Center cases place students in the role of a manager and ask them to analyze a business problem using the economics tools they’ve just learned.
MyEconLab is an online homework and tutorial system that gives students the tools they need to learn from their mistakes. Each online problem set becomes a true learning moment because, at the end of the assignment, students identify their weak spots and receive tutorial help to master those areas. With MyEconLab, students get more out of each assessment, and professors can choose how much—or how little—time they want to spend setting up the course. For more information, visit MyEconLab.

New To This Edition

All of the Issues & Applications and more than two-thirds of the in-text examples are new to this edition, keeping students up to date with the issues and stories that are in the news today.
The text’s pedagogy has been updated to reflect how students use their text as a study tool.

A new end-of-chapter Summary design helps students identify the big ideas that they should take away from the chapter, and gives them pointed instruction on where to go in MyEconLab to practice and get tutorial help on those specific topics. This complements MyEconLab, which lets students take a chapter test and generates a Study Plan with a list of which topics they have mastered and which they need to review.
New Quick Quizzes, appearing at the end of each major section, encourage students to test themselves on the topic they just read. If students do not get the questions right, they can re-read or go online for targeted help and practice in MyEconLab.
More diagrams include actual numbers along axes instead of generic labels, which serves to make diagrams more concrete for students. Graphs in microeconomics chapters now include numerical values of prices and quantities, instead of P and Q labels.

A subset of end-of-chapter problems are now assignable in MyEconLab, allowing instructors to assign these problems for homework without needing to spend more time grading.
International coverage grows increasingly important to economics classrooms. The Fourteenth Edition offers:

New and updated International Examples and International Policy Examples throughout
Discussion of the implications of greater openness of the U.S. economy for domestic macroeconomic policymaking
Evaluation of whether increased international trade in markets for goods, services, and factors of production has contributed to greater income inequality

Losses Resulting from Monopoly—the new appendix to Chapter 25, Monopoly—carefully explains the concept of consumer surplus. It describes the determination of consumer surplus under perfect competition and provides a detailed explanation of the efficiency losses created by monopoly.
Miller’s three test banks have been thoroughly reviewed, revised, and checked for accuracy.
