'Are you a freshly minted economics PhD, dumped clueless in front
of your first class? Or are you an experienced and good teacher,
trying to raise your game to the next level? In either case, this
book offers you a whole course of master classes. Simon Bowmaker
deserves the economics profession's thanks for bringing together
these gems of ideas and suggestions from our best practitioners of
the art of teaching.' - Avinash Dixit, Princeton UniversityThis
unique monograph comprises a collection of interviews conducted
face-to-face with leading economists at universities throughout the
United States. Presented with the singular opportunity to reflect
on and share their wisdom and experience, the 21 interviewees
discuss how they interpret, understand and practice their role as
teachers. In addition to providing lessons that will inform the way
others teach, the interviews shatter the illusion that teaching and
research are strictly independent and competing activities. The
Heart of Teaching Economics serves not only as a welcome resource
for scholars and students of economics, but as a guidebook - and
inspiration - for those who will help to shape the minds of future
economists. With Contributions from: Simon W. Bowmaker, Luis
Cabral, David Cutler, William Easterly, Barry Eichengreen, Nancy
Folbre, Robert Frank, David Friedman, Edward Glaeser, Robert J.
Gordon, William Greene, Shoshana Grossbard, Gene Grossman, Daniel
Hamermesh, Caroline Hoxby, David Laibson, Steven Landsburg, John
List, Steven Medema, Frederic Mishkin, Benjamin Polak, John B.
