The Instructor's Manual for Experiments with Economic Principles: Microeconomics, 2nd Edition

The Instructor's Manual includes:

• General hints on how to get the most from the experiments.
• Learning objectives for each experiment.
• Very detailed instructions on how to conduct each experiment.
• A "Quick-Start" that includes:
  • Simple capsule instructions for each experiment (take these with you to class).
  • Tables to simplify data collection during class.
  • Original copies of all necessary experimental materials (Personal Information Sheets, Sales Contracts, etc.) for photocopying.
• Reports on the outcomes of previously conducted experiments (these will give you a very good idea of what to expect during a real experiment).
• And more....

The Instructor's Manual is available from McGraw Hill (ISBN 0077 229519 8). You should definitely get a copy if you are going to use the book. Also, make sure you keep up with the latest corrections and experimental variations.

The Instructor's Manual is also available as a PDF file (1.7Mbytes). (A note to students: We realize that instructor's manuals hold a certain amount of intrigue for some students. Alas, this manual doesn't contain any test questions, easy answers to your homework, etc., but rather good discussions of the mechanics behind how to conduct the experiments, and so forth. Students are welcome to read this document as you may learn a few subtleties about the material in the different chapters. However, the easiest way for you to understand the material and do well on your homework is to focus your time and effort towards the chapters contained in the student version of the book.)

In the Instructor's Manual you will find all of the materials you need to copy and handout to the students for each experiment. We have collected all of these materials and placed them in a PostScript file of distribution materials or a PDF file. (You will still want the Instructor's Manual for the Capsule Instructions and Data Collection Tables.)
