| Abstraksi Narasi | : | A mind map is an outline in which the major categories radiate from a central image and lesser categories are portrayed as branches of large branches. The author describes an in-class exercise in which small groups of students each create a mind map for a specific topic. This exercise is another example of an active and collaborative learning tool that instructors can use to move beyond "chalk and talk". The exercise can also help incorporate activities for diverse learning styles into economics courses and can reenergize a course in midsemester. The author provides ideas for mind map topics for a wide variety of economics courses. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Strategic pricing is an important and exciting topic ain industrial organization and the economics of strategy. A wide range of texts use what has become a standard version of the Milgrom and Roberts (1982a) limit-pricing model to convey the essential ideas of strategic pricing under incomplete information. In addition to providing a formal, but succinct, review of the standard model, the author addresses three questions that commonly arise when the model is presented to students: what happens if there are more than two periods? What if information is still incomplete in the postentry subgame? What if the incumbent does not know the entrant`s beliefs? The author shows that, although then are some interesting behavioral implications, none of these extensions significantly changes the conclusions of the basic model. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | It is a popular practice among college professors to drop the lowest component grade in computing the course grade. A benefit of this practice is the elimination of the need to evaluate excuse or administer make-up exams. The author use data from a controlled experiment to examine the impact of such a policy on student behavior and course performance. The policy was found to have no significant impact on the decision to miss an exam or to "write off" an exam. However, performance on a comprehensive final exam was negatively and significantly affected by such a policy. In short, significant costs were identified that would offset the benefits of a grade-dropping, policy. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | How much time do academic economists allocate to teaching, research, and service, and how much time do their departments want them to allocate to these pursuits? As a result of the decline in economics majors in the early 1990s, was there a change in the reward system and time allocation of academic economists toward teaching? In this study, the authors combine 1995 and 2000 survey data collected by Becker and Wantts (1996, 2001) to describe teaching methods in undergraduate economics courses at five Carnegie Foundation categories of colleges and universities in the United States. The focus here is on a priviously unreported section of these surveys, in which respondents were asked to indicate the percentage of time they allocated to teaching, research, and service and to provide the weightings they felt their own departments assigned to these activities in making decisions about annual raiese or promotion and tenure. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The authors measure math skills with a broader set of explanatory variables than have been used in previous studies. to identify what math skills are important for student succes in introductory microeconomics, they examine (1) the student`s score on the mathematics portion of the ACT Assessment test, (2) Whether the student has taken calculus, (3) Whether the student has been required to take remedial mathematics, nad (4) the student`s on a test of very basic mathematical concepts. All four measures have significant effects in explaining performance in an introductory microeconomics course. The authors find similar results, regardless of whether they use self-reported information from students or official administrative records from the university. the results suggest that improvements in student performance may depend on improved mastery of basic algebra. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Managing local environmental resources with moderately enforced government regulations can often be counterproductive. Where as nonbinding communications can be remarkably effective. The authors describe wa classroom experiment that illustrates these points. The experiment is rich in its institutional setting and highlights the challeges that policymakers and communities face in enforcing environmental regulations. The experiment has been run succesfully in a variety of courses and disciplines at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including microeconomics, public finance, and a natural resources conservation course. The experiment would be appropriate in environmental economics and game theory courses. This experiment has also been used in the field with villagers who face challeges similar to the experiment; the field results were comparable to those in the classroom. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Using data as reported in the JEL in 2000 and 1985, the authors examine the pricing and other characteristics of books. There has been a substantial rise in book prices, even in real terms, between the two years, which the smaller rise in average page length appears insufficient to justify. A major factor behind the rise would appear to be the increasing importance of foreign presses that not only sell at higher average price than U.S. preses but are increasingly likely to do so. University presses and other not-for-profit publishers sell at substantially lower prices than commercial publishing houses and are more likely to publish in paperback than commercial publishing houses. The discount on paperbacks appears to have been relatively stable in the two years. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The authors suggest a way to teach Keynes`s principle of effective demand using a standard aggregate labor market diagram that should be familiar to students taking an advanced undergraduate course in macroeconomics. The analysis incorporates Kalicki`s version of the effective demand model to show Keynesian unemployment as a point on the aggregate labor demand curve inside the aggregate labor supply curve. The well-known Keynesian policy conclusions apply. In particular, workers and firms are unable to restore full employment by reducing real wages, underlining how important is the macroeconomic duty of the monetary and fiscal authorities to manage aggregate demand growth. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The authors describe an interdisciplinary approach to teaching economics that uses a powerful contemporary medium, the motion picture, to establish the context for teaching elementary economics concepts. The plots and sub-plots in many films can be used to illustrate problems and issues that are amenable to economic analysis. They suggest how these films can be sequenced to create a general studies course for nonmajors. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Although prominent economists at elite universities produce the most influential scholarship, economists at the nation`s leading liberal arts college make significant contributions. The author measures the influence of 439 economists employed at the 50 top liberal arts colleges and ranks departments and individuals on the basis of citations. The author discovered a hierarchy with a small number of departments whose faculty produce cited scholarship, and a small number of influential economists employed at liberal arts colleges. The determinants of citations are estimated. Greater experience and more publications but not lower teaching loads are correlated with more citations. |
