Economics (14)
By Saylor
The intended audience of the textbook is first-year undergraduates taking courses on the principles of macroeconomics and microeconomics. Many may never take another economics course.

This material devotes special attention to the investigation of the causal connections between economic phenomena involving products and the corresponding agents of production, not only for the purpose of establishing a price theory based upon reality and placing all price phenomena (including interest, wages, ground rent, etc.) together under one unified point of view, but also because of the important insights we thereby gain into many other economic processes heretofore completely misunderstood.By Alberto Bisin
As such the book relies on a relatively high level of abstraction and focuses on the concepts and the techniques of economic analysis rather than on the understanding of speciÖc economic phenomena or institutions.

This article offers a broad vision of how law and economics analysis may be improved by increased attention to insights about actual human behavior. It considers specific topics in the economic analysis of law and proposes new models and approaches for addressing these topics.By Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt In the fi rst part we introduce all the major growth paradigms (neoclassical, AK, product-variety, and Schumpeterian), and then in subsequent chapters we show how these paradigms can be used to analyze various aspects of the growth process and to think about the design of growth policy.
