| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The author present a series of writing assigments that teaches students how to evaluate and critique the written economic work of others. The foundation text is McCloskey`s (2000) Economical Writing. The students` dialogues with McCloskey, with each other, and with the authors of the pieces they evaluate sharpen their understanding of, and ability to use, language as an instrument of economic thought. interviews with former students identify specific benefits from the student perspective of this approach. The authors show how the assigment series can be modified in several ways and how the general approach, as well as the foundation text, can be used in different economics courses. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The relationship between expected grades and student evaluations of teaching (SET) has been controversial . The authors take another look at the controversy by employing class-specific observations and controlling for time-invariant instructor and course differences with a fixed-effects model. The authors` empirical results indicate that if an instructor of a particular course has some classes in which students expect higher grades, a more favorable average SET is obtained in these classes. Moreover, they find that it is the gap between expected grade and cumulative grade point average of incoming students that is the relevant explanatory variable, not expected grade as employed in the previous literature. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Computer simulation of the Alonso household location model can enrich the intermediate microeconomics course. The model includes decisions on location, land space, and other goods and is a valuable complement to the usual textbook model of household consumption. It has three decision variables, one of which is a "bad", and one good`s price is a nonlinear function of another decision variable. These instructive complications are easily within the grasp of students. The simulation illustrates algebraic utility function that are important in later courses. The author describes ways to simulate various versions of the model, from relatively simple to advanced, including a version that incorporates time allocation decisions, thus giving the instructor flexibility in teaching students of varying ability. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Students at all levels benefit from a multi-faceted approach to learning abstract material. The most commonly used technique in teaching the pure theory of international trade is a combination of geometry and algebaic derivations. Numerical simulation can provide a valuable third support to these approaches. The author describes a simple numerical nonlinear program that reinforces a widely used geometric device for teaching the factor-proportions theory. The basic model can be easily adapted to demonstrate a wide variety of models and results from the pure theory of international trade. the author describes the model and gives suggestions for its use as a teaching device. The author discusses extensions and further applications of the model to other important results in international trade theory. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Over the past two decades, the rising number of outlets for communication through cable networks and electronic broadcasting (not to mention self promoting Web "blog") has stimulated the demand for economic commentary. Only the academic economist, as "public intellectual," can provided this commentary in a coherent and rigorous way via the Three levels of communication described in this article. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The Authors present an experimental design used to teach concepts in the economics of auctions and implications for e-Business procurement. The experiment is esily administered and can be adapted to many different treatments. The chief innovation is that it does not require the use of a lab or class time. Instead, the design can be implemented on any of the many Web-based auction sites (we use Yahoo!). this design has been used to demontrate how information is transmitted by bids in an auction and how this can make it difficult for well-informed bidders to profit from their information, leading to disincentives for relatively informed bidders to enter an auction. Consequently, an auction may sometimes be an ineffective mechanism for procurement, compared with other options. The auction experiment shows how information can dramatically affect market outcomes and bidder incentives. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The author argues that, although the standard principles level treatment of fixed and sunk costs has problems, it is logically consistent as long as all fixed costs are assumed to be sunk costs. As long as the instructor makes that assumption clear to students, the costs of making the changes recently suggested by X. Henry Wang and Bill Z. Yang in the Journal of Economic Education are greater than the benefits. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The Authors reply to Colander`s comment in this issue on their earlier article (Wang and Yang 2001). They emphasize the necessity to define fixed cost differently than sunk cost because fixed vs. variable costs and sunk vs. avoidable costs classify the total costs from two different perspectives. They show that it is logically incorrect and inconsistent if fixed cost is a synonym of sunk cost. To avoid confusion in pedagogy and education of economics, they argue that fixed cost should be correctly defined in principles textbooks, rather than corrected later at more advanced levels. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | With this guide, the author aims to induce more economists to talk to people in the media as a means of expanding educational outreach. The guide provides discussions "do"s and "don`ts" and offers advice on which kinds of research are likely to interest reporters. The author suggests specific approaches to dealing with reporters in different types of media, including print, radio, and television. |
