The three volumes of the "Collected Scientific Works of David Cass" are ordered chronologically, which happens to coincide with the development of the three major advances in Cass' research agenda, the development of the neoclassical growth model, the discovery of sunspot equilibria, and the analysis of models of market incompleteness. This volume consists of Cass' early work from his time in graduate school at Stanford University, studying under Hirofumi Uzawa, and as an assistant professor at Yale's Cowles Commission, and his tenure at Carnegie Mellon University's Graduate School of Industrial Administration. The work in this volume focuses primarily on Cass' contributions to what is now known as the Ramsey-Cass-Kooopmans neoclassical growth model, and the development of what is now known as the Cass criterion for determining whether intertemporal allocations are efficient. This period also includes Cass' early work on overlapping generation's models, asset pricing models, and methodological contributions in dynamic systems applications in economics.

"A practical guide of immense value to both students and their supporters as they deal with the new and different challenges posed by the transition from high school to college academics." -George Ballinger, Director of Family Affairs and Veterans Affairs, University of Colorado, Boulder

"It is a must read for our junior and senior students" -Andrea Sabadosh, Jefferson County Colorado, International Baccalaureate Program Coordinator

"Perceptive and useful from a practical viewpoint. An easy read, I have no doubt incoming freshmen will benefit from its insights." -Anthony Chatham, Professor, Tulane University

1 in 4 college freshmen do not return for sophomore year. 45% of college freshmen will never graduate. 65% of college students feel they have underachieved. Why?

Every college student can succeed academically and obtain a high GPA. The reason so many college students underperform is because they're not taught how to transition from the structured high school environment to the unstructured college academic environment. The Strategic Student teaches high school seniors and college underclassmen how to make this transition and become more self-reliant. The author served as a college professor, academic advisor, and administrator at the University of Colorado in Boulder. As a freshmen professor and advisor, he collected lessons and study habits he learned from his students and later returned to school to take undergraduate classes to test and refine the strategies covered in this book. The Strategic Student is the only book that offers a student, professor, and advisor perspective along with tested and proven academic strategies.

A great many of the most important developments in modern economics were first revealed in the pages of Econometrica. This selection of readings from that journal is the third in a series and contains its editors' choice of the best articles in the general area of macroeconomics and capital theory that appeared in issues dating from 1935 to 1966. A broad range of topics is covered in the 27 articles selected in order to indicate the general extent of the field. A few of the articles were microeconomic in their original intent but have a clear influence on later macroeconomic theory.
