| principles of economics asarta: Principles of Economics Carlos Jose Asarta, Roger B. Butters, 2022 What is economics? That's a great question, but not one with a simple answer. A dictionary will say something like this: Economics is the study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. A traditional textbook might define it like this: Economics is a social science that studies people and the choices they make in the face of scarce resources. Our product is no dictionary, and it's definitely not a traditional textbook, so our definition differs a bit too. Have you ever been in a dark room trying to find your way from one side to the other? We all have, and along the way we've stubbed toes, banged shins, and stumbled. That's a problem, and the way to solve it is to turn on a light so you can see the path to take, understand the obstacles, and make better choices. When you turn on a light, the world around you is illuminated, so instead of stumbling from one place to another, you can move with confidence to your final destination. Economics, then, really is about people and the choices they make in a world of scarce resources. But it's also more: It's a way of thinking and of viewing the world that turns on the lights. Economics illuminates your world because it shows you how decisions are connected to outcomes. It connects you to the world by giving you the tools to understand the choices you and those around you make-- |

| principles of economics asarta: Teaching Economics , 2019 This book looks at a number of topics in economic education, presenting multiple perspectives from those in the field to anyone interested in teaching economics. Using anecdotes, classroom experiments and surveys, the contributing authors show that, with some different or new techniques, teaching economics can be more engaging for students and help them better retain what they learned. Chapters cover a wide range of approaches to teaching economics, from interactive approaches such as utilizing video games and Econ Beats to more rigorous examinations of government policies and market outcomes and exploring case studies from specific courses. Many of the chapters incorporate game theory and provide worked out examples of games designed to help students with intuitive retention of the material, and these games can be replicated in any economics classroom. While the exercises are geared towards college-level economics students, instructors can draw inspiration for course lectures from the various approaches taken here and utilize them at any level of teaching. This book will be very useful to instructors in economics interested in bringing innovative teaching methods into the classroom. |

| principles of economics asarta: Digital Portfolios in the Classroom Matt Renwick, 2017-08-31 Assessment is messy. Day-to-day, in-the-moment assessments not only reveal information that drives future instruction but also offer a comprehensive picture of students’ abilities and dispositions toward learning. As teachers, we might know what this looks and feels like, yet it can be hard to put into action—hence the messiness. Say hello to digital student portfolios—dynamic, digital collections of authentic information from different media, in many forms, and with multiple purposes. Using digital portfolios to capture student thinking and progress allows us to better see our students as readers, writers, and learners—and help students see themselves in the same way! Matt Renwick’s Digital Portfolios in the Classroom is a guide to help teachers sort through, capture, and make sense of the messiness associated with assessment. By shining a spotlight on three types of student portfolios—performance, process, and progress—and how they can be used to assess student work, Renwick helps educators navigate the maze of digital tools and implement the results to drive instruction. |
| principles of economics asarta: International Handbook of Financial Literacy Carmela Aprea, Eveline Wuttke, Klaus Breuer, Noi Keng Koh, Peter Davies, Bettina Greimel-Fuhrmann, Jane S. Lopus, 2016-03-24 This Handbook presents in-depth research conducted on a myriad of issues within the field of financial literacy. Split into six sections, it starts by presenting prevalent conceptions of financial literacy before covering financial literacy in the policy context, the state and development of financial literacy within different countries, issues of assessment and evaluation of financial literacy, approaches to teaching financial literacy, and teacher training and teacher education in financial literacy. In doing so, it provides precise definitions of the construct of financial literacy and elaborates on the state and recent developments of financial literacy around the world, to show ways of measuring and fostering financial literacy and to give hints towards necessary and successful teacher trainings. The book also embraces the diversity in the field by revealing contrasting and conflicting views that cannot be bridged, while at the same time making a contribution by re-joining existing materials in one volume which can be used in academic discourse, in research-workshops, in university lectures and in the definition of program initiatives within the wider field of financial literacy. It allows for a landscape of financial literacy to be depicted which would foster the implementation of learning opportunities for human beings for sake of well-being within financial living-conditions. The Handbook is useful to academics and students of the topic, professionals in the sector of investment and banking, and for every person responsible for managing his or her financial affairs in everyday life. |

Frank, Ben Bernanke, 2020 Lthough many millions of dollars are spent each year on introductory economics instruction in American colleg-es and universities, the return on this investment has been disturbingly low.

Most students, it seems, leave our introductory courses without having learned even the most important basic economic principles-- |

| principles of economics asarta: Financial Numeracy in Mathematics Education Annie Savard, Alexandre Cavalcante, 2021-08-27 This book presents the important role of mathematics in the teaching of financial education. Through a conceptualization of financial numeracy as a social practice, it focuses on the teaching practices, resources, and needs of secondary mathematics teachers (grades 7-12) to incorporate financial concepts in their classes. The editors and authors bring forth a novel perspective regarding mathematics education in the digital era. By focusing on financial numeracy, a key component of skills required in the digital era, they discuss important issues related to the teaching and learning of mathematics and finance. In contrary to most research in the field of financial education coming from scholars in areas such as business, accounting, management and economics, this book introduces the contribution of researchers from the field of education to the debate. The book appeals to an international audience composed of researchers, stakeholders, policymakers, teachers, and teacher educators. |

| principles of economics asarta: Regulating lobbying Raj Chari, John Hogan, Gary Murphy, Michele Crepaz, 2019-02-28 Governments worldwide are developing sunshine policies that increase transparency in politics, where a key initiative is regulating lobbyists. Building on the pioneering first edition, this book updates its examination of all jurisdictions with regulations, from the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Unlike any book, it offers unique insights into how the regulations compare and contrast against each other, offering a revamped theoretical classification of different regulatory environments and situating each political system therein. This edition innovatively considers different measurements to capture the robustness of lobbying laws in terms of promoting transparency and accountability. And, based on the authors’ experience of advising governments globally, it closes with a no-nonsense guide on how to make a lobbying law. This is of value to policymakers seeking to introduce or amend regulations, and lobbyists seeking to influence this process. |
| principles of economics asarta: Hey Miss Helen Roger Butter, 2017-06-22 Upon graduating with a Bachelor's Degree, Miss Helen taught Special Education. She received her Master's Degree and advanced her career to becoming Regional Coordinator for Special Education with the Louisiana Department of Education. She was a business owner, and a talented Cajun entrepreneur. She was devoted to her children, grandchildren, and extended family. She cooked for Hollywood celebrities and Washington politicians. She consulted with restaurant owners and helped increase their business. She opened and operated three of her own restaurants. Read her life story to see how much this Cajun woman accomplished in her 93 years. The aim of Hey Miss Helen is to present the readers with interesting assessments of the rural life of a young lady reared in the 1920s and the capabilities of a decisive individual when boundaries were no limits. The personal accounts portray the author's analysis of a hard-working devoted soul as depicted by friends and relatives. Much attention is devoted to Miss Helen's life as it is surrounded by unrest and triumphs, but it is equally important to note the spirited relationships she developed throughout her life. In short, the author's reflection recounts her relationships to those of her past, her family, and the many people with whom she established memories throughout her life. |
