Features: The third edition of Stiglitz and Walsh's Economics is updated to reflect the new economy represented by computers and the internet, with meticulous adjustments to the course content. This is an extension of the authors' student-friendly style, as students familiar with computers and the internet are far more numerous than those familiar with cars, especially in China. Accompanying the main text is the Economics Study Guide, which carefully designs a wealth of insightful exercises. These exercises help readers grasp the key concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics while thinking through seemingly simple problems, fully appreciating the subtle design of the questions. The difficulty level is divided into three tiers, with higher numbers indicating greater difficulty.
Level 1 exercises primarily test students' memorization of the textbook content, Level 2 exercises require students to apply textbook knowledge for some reflection, and Level 3 exercises focus on assessing students' analytical skills. Some of the exercises in this guide come from the online quizzes on the student textbook website, with approximately 15-25 questions per chapter marked with an asterisk (). These can be found on the website www.wwnorton.com/stiglitzwalsh.
