Sinossi
This fresh approach to the Principles of Microeconomics course uses real data to tackle real issues, helping students to take economics beyond the classroom. The author team of Daron Acemoglu, David Laibson, and John List is committed to showing students how economic concepts are personally relevant to them. Through practical content, including Evidence-based Economics features in each chapter that explore real-world scenarios, the authors give students the knowledge they need to apply economic principles to guide the decisions they make in their own lives.
