| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The author outlines a classroom tariff-setting game that allows students to explore the consequences if impor tariffs imposed by large countries (countries to explore the consequence world prices). Groups of students represent countries. Which are organized into trading pairs. Each group`s objective is to maximize welfare by choosing an appropriate ad valorem tariff that may be changed intermittently throughout the game. The game is built on a computable general-equilibrium model, which allows each nation`s utility and terms of trade under alternative tariff regimes to be expressed quantitatively. the exercise encourage students to consider terms-of-trade improvements and efficiency loses resulting from large-country tariffs and provides a framework to discuss the Nash equilibrium of a tariff war. the game is a useful supplement to traditional teaching methods. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The author presents new evidence on the effects of attendance on academic performance. He used a large panel data set for introductory microeconomics students to explicitly take into account the effect of unobservable factors correlated with attendance, such as ability, effort, and motivation. He found that neither proxy variables nor instrumental variables provide a solution to the omitted variable bias. Panel estimators indicate that attendance has a smaller but significant impact on performance. Lecture and classes have a similar effect on performance individually, although their impact cannot be identified separately. Overall, the results indicate that, after controlling for unobservable student characteristics, attendance has a statistically significant and quantitatively relevant effect on student learning. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The author`s aim in this articel was to show the use of classroom experiments may be a good pedagogical tool to teach the Nash equillibrium (NE) concept. the basic game is a version of the beauty contest game (BCG), a simple guessing game in which repetition lets students react to other player`s choices and convergence iteratively to the equilibrium solution. the authors perform this experiment with undergraduate students with no previous training in game theory. After four rounds, they observe a clear decreasing tendency in the average submitted students quickly learn how to reach the NE solution. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Students are interested in lecture examples and class exercises involving data connected to the mainden voyage and the sinking of the liner titanic. Information on the passengers and their fate can be used to explore relationships between various tests for differences in survival rates between different group of passengers. Among the concepts the authors examined are tests for differences of proportions using a normal distribution, a chi-square test for independence, a test for the equality of two logits, and a test for the significance of the coefficient of a binary variable in logit model. The authors examined the relationship between wald and Langrange multiplier test statistics and give two related examples. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The author argues that the college textbook market provides a clear example of monopoly seeking as described by Tullock (1967, 1980). This behavior is also known as rent seeking. Because this amrket is important to students, this example of rent seeking will be of particular interest to them. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Authors of principles and price theory textbooks generally illustrate short-run production using a total product curve that displays first increasing first and then diminishing marginal returns to employment of the variable input (s). Although it seems reasonable that a temporary range of increasing returns to variable inputs will likely occur as variable inputs are added to a set of fixed ones. This proposition implies in isoquant diagram that is not a familiar one in textbooks. The authors examine a linearly homogeneous production function comforming to the textbook case and construct ist isoquant diagram. They then use a geometrical proof attributable to Geoffrey Jehle (2002) to demonstrate that, in general, isoquant must have, outside the traditional ridge lines, a range where they are convex toward those (MP = 0) ridge lines and another range where are concave toward them if there are short-run increasing, then diminishing, marginal returns. the authors suggest how this issue might be presented to students. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This study is based on 1996 survey of PhD economists working in the academic and nonacademic sectors since 1989. despite a raw gender difference in all types of research output, the male dummy variable proves statistically significant in predicting only one publication measure. In a full sample and faculty subsample, number of years since receipt of PhD, publication in a refereed journal as a graduate student, and the total number of presentations made in professional forums were consistently, positively related to research productivity. The importance of other independent variables varies by research output. typically unavailable variables such as workload, time use, submissions data, and family circustances are also examined. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Interest in using classroom experiments to teach economics is increasing where as empirical evidence on how experiments affect learning is limited and mixed. The author used a pretest-postest control-group design to test whether classroom experiments and garde incentives that reward performance in experiments affect learning of introductory microeconomics. The author measured the partial effects of experiments independendtly for instructor quality and teaching methods using. test of understanding in college economics scores. Experiments without incentives are associated with higher posttest scores and greater improvement over pretest scores, but grade incentives may offset benefits of experiments. Controlling for student aptitude and other characteristics, limiting influence of potential outliers, or adjusting for potential selection bias frm incomplete observation of test scores does not alter the conclusion that experiments increase learning whereas grade incentives do not. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Recent research has demonstrated that active learning techniques improve student comprehension and retention of abstract economic ideas such as rent seeking. Instructors can reinforce the concept of rent seeking with a classroom game. particularly one involving real money. the authors improve upon a game first introduced b Goeree and Holt (199) and later expanded upon by Bischoff and Holimann (2002). the authors present a version of the game in which students participate in all-pay auction, risking their own money, and discover first hand the potential inefficiencies of rent seeking. the authors suggest extensions of the rent-seeking game, including discussions of social welfare effects, equity, campaig finance reform, tax simplication, and congressional reforms designed to limit the influence of rent seeking in the economy. |
