This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. Parkin's Macroeconomics is a worldwide leader because it provides a serious, analytical approach to the discipline using the latest policy and data. Parkin trains students to think like economists by offering a clear introduction to theory and applying the concepts to today's events, news, and research. From our global food shortage to global warming, economic issues permeate our everyday lives. In his Ninth Edition, Parkin brings critical issues to the forefront. Each chapter begins with one of today's key issues, and additional issues appear throughout the chapter to show the real-world applications of the theory being discussed. When the chapter concludes, students read between the lines to think critically about a news article relating to the issue, demonstrating how thinking like an economist helps make informed decisions.Parkin is so committed to currency that he uploads news articles almost daily to MyEconLab(R), the online assessment and tutorial system that accompanies the text. For the Ninth Edition, assessment questions based on these Economics in the News articles will be uploaded periodically so that instructors can assign recent articles within MyEconLab.

This innovative study guide reinforces the key concepts of each chapter through reviews, practice exams, and problem sets designed to help students apply what they ve learned. "Doing Economics" sections are structured around a series of "Tool Kits" in which students learn a problem-solving technique through its step-by-step application. Each "Tool Kit" is followed by worked examples and practice problems that apply the relevant technique."
