NEW Online-Only Problems. Professor Mankiw has written dozens of new end-of-chapter problems that are available only in the digital version of Macroeconomics. Analytic problems ask students to practice shifting the curves in various models and interpreting the results. Numerical problems present models with specific parameter values and ask students to calculate the resulting equilibria. Still other problems incorporate data: They ask students to answer questions about data describing the U.S. economy, which can be easily accessed using Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED).
NEW EconoFact Memos with Unique Exercises.
