The microeconomics text that moves students from understanding the
basics of real economic principles to applying the powerful tools
of economics analysis. You can't really learn theory until you try
to apply it. Like no other text for the intermediate microeconomics
course, Goolsbee, Levitt, and Syverson's Microeconomics bridges the
gap between today's theory and practice. A strong empirical
dimension tests theory and successfully applies it. With carefully
crafted features and vivid examples, Goolsbee, Levitt, and
Syverson's text helps answer two critical questions students ask,
"Do people and firms really act as theory suggests" and "How can
someone use microeconomics in a practical way?" The new edition of
Microeconomics is now supported in Achieve Essentials, Macmillan's
new online learning platform. Achieve Essentials includes the
relevant materials for your students in each course, whether that's
graphing problems for economics or simulations in biology or
molecular drawing in chemistry or even animations in physics.
Using the latest empirical and conceptual research for readers in
economics, business, and policy, this volume surveys the key
components of innovation policy and the social returns to
innovation investment. In advanced economies like the United
States, innovation has long been recognized as a central force for
increasing economic prosperity and human welfare. Today, the US
government promotes innovation through various mechanisms,
including tax credits for private-sector research, grant support
for basic and applied research, and institutions like the Small
Business Innovation Research Program of the National Science
Foundation. Drawing on the latest empirical and conceptual
research, Innovation and Public Policy surveys the key components
of innovation policy and the social returns to innovation
investment. It examines mechanisms that can advance the pace of
invention and innovative activity, including expanding the research
workforce through schooling and immigration policy and funding
basic research. It also considers scientific grant systems for
funding basic research, including those at institutions like the
National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation,
and investigates the role of entrepreneurship policy and of other
institutions that promote an environment conducive to scientific
breakthroughs.
