Freely downloadable PDF version of a printed textbook. "The book focuses on the concepts of model and equilibrium. It states models and results precisely, and provides proofs for all results. It uses only elementary mathematics (with almost no calculus), although many of the proofs involve sustained logical arguments. It includes about 150 exercises."
Available in two editions: one uses he/him pronouns throughout; the other uses she/her pronouns.
Set of data visualisations that students can step through to explore inequality within countries. Using data from 1980 to 2014, the tool introduces Lorenz curves and the Gini coefficient, skyscraper plots, and rich/poor income ratios. The display changes in response to the time slider and the users' selection of up to seven countries.
This is a continually-updated site based on an award-winning paper that was published in the International Review of Economics Education. It gives an overview of some teaching methods, lists resources in many different media, suggests class activities and student projects, and has a section on topics for which textbook explanations are usually lacking.
Short articles and pointers for an international audience teaching or learning economics at university level. Launched in 2021 as a section of the Inomics platform, this is regularly updated.
