The Art and Practice of Economics NEW
Research
International Handbook
on Teaching and Learning
Economics
Edited by Gail M. Hoyt, University of Kentucky
and KimMarie McGoldrick, University of
Richmond, US
‘In delightfully readable short chapters by
leaders in the sub-fields who are also committed
teachers, this encyclopedia of how and what in
teaching economics covers everything. There
is nothing else like it, and it should be required
reading for anyone starting a teaching career –
and for anyone who has been teaching for fewer than 50 years!’
– Daniel S. Hamermesh, University of Texas, Austin, US
Lessons from Leading Minds
Edited by Simon W. Bowmaker, New York University, US
This book contains 25 interviews with leading economists based in the
United States and Europe. The interviewees detail their methods of working;
provide insights into the process of scientific discovery, knowledge creation,
and research dissemination in economics; and identify and evaluate specific
contributions and findings from the discipline. Graduate students,
well-established scholars, and all of those in between will find this collection
of reflections as informative as it is influential.

The Heart of Teaching Economics
Elgar original reference • Full contents – www.e-elgar.com
Lessons from Leading Minds
Simon W. Bowmaker, New York University, US
Teaching Innovations
in Economics
‘The Heart of Teaching Economics is a marvelously
entertaining and lively book. All who read it cannot
help but come away from the experience with a richly
enhanced understanding of the power, virtue and
importance of teaching.’
Strategies and Applications for Interactive
Instruction
– Wayne Geerling, The Business Economist
‘Everyone remembers their favorite teacher. The
testimonies recorded here provide a great insight
into the minds of some of the most popular and successful to have graced
a lecture hall. The range of styles is wide, but the theme of inspiration is
common to all. This book will be of tremendous interest to any aspiring
teacher. It will also appeal to anyone who wonders why their inspiration
to understand economics still burns brightly so many years after their last
lecture.’
– Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England

Edited by Michael K. Salemi, University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and William B. Walstad,
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, US
Teaching Innovations in Economics presents findings
from the Teaching Innovations Program (TIP) funded
by the National Science Foundation. The six-year
project engaged economics professors in the use
of interactive teaching in undergraduate economics courses. Each chapter
offers an insightful explanation of an innovative teaching strategy and provides
a description and examples of its effective use in undergraduate economics
courses. The book’s conclusion assesses the results from an evaluation of
the program that reports detailed findings on how TIP fundamentals have
contributed to faculty development and successful outcomes.

Learning in the Global Classroom
A Guide for Students in the Multicultural
University
In Search of Research Excellence
Carol Dalglish, Queensland University of
Technology, Peter Evans, Leadership Education
Australia and Lynda Lawson, Queensland
University of Technology, Australia
Ronald K. Mitchell, Texas Tech University and
Richard N. Dino, University of Connecticut, US
Exemplars in Entrepreneurship
‘Learning in the Global Classroom is an excellent
reference for both university students and for
academics who take their responsibilities seriously.
This book makes study in another country more
do-able, and is very timely given the increasing push for internationalization
in universities. What could be an overwhelming challenge for the potential
international student is tackled in a logical, reassuring way, with practical
strategies that cover personal, social and academic issues. For most
students, this text will be an “ongoing” reference, to be referred to as
situations arise. Issues that academics often complain about with regard to
non-Western students are addressed, such as learning how to speak up in
class discussions, critical thinking and punctuality. The text also offers sage
advice that would be valuable to students who are returning to study after a
prolonged absence. I will certainly recommend this book to both colleagues
and students.’
This path-breaking book gathers ‘best practices’
advice from the masters about how to achieve
excellence in entrepreneurship research, how to
create an outstanding research career and how
to avoid the pitfalls that can sidetrack emerging
scholars. Combining narratives from the 2009 and
2010 Entrepreneurship Exemplars Conferences,
the authors frame the dialogue using person–
environment fit theory and present keynote addresses and dialogue sessions
that bring together editors and authors to reach into the unexplored corners of
the top-tier research craft.

Teaching Pluralism in Economics
Edited by John Groenewegen, Delft University of
Technology, The Netherlands
Carol Dalglish, Queensland University of
Technology and Peter Evans, Leadership Education
Australia
A must-read support guide for teachers and lecturers
looking to excel in today’s multicultural university
environment.
‘Dalglish and Evans’ text Teaching in the Global
Business Classroom draws our attention to the
possibilities of enriching the experience of global
business classroom for all parties. The contributors
of the volume achieve this ambitious aim by delivering a highly accessible
text, which offers a useful guide for teachers of global business classrooms.
I certainly would like to have read this book in my early years of teaching as
the volume provides a much needed injection of accessibility and evidence
based recommendations and practical suggestions to a literature which so far
remained anaemic in these regards.’

Research Without Tears
From the First Ideas to Published Output
Discussing Economics
John Creedy, University of Melbourne, Australia
A Classroom Guide to Preparing Discussion
Questions and Leading Discussion
‘Research Without Tears is. . . clearly presented and
well structured. In fact it illustrates in its execution all
the good advice on writing style Creedy gives to his
readers. . . It will enhance any collection on research
methods in the social sciences. It is hard to think of
any research student who would not be grateful for
the advice it gives.’
Michael K. Salemi, University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill and W. Lee Hansen, University of
Wisconsin, Madison, US
‘Teaching economics is the most important job that
economists do. Thus it is nice to see a book devoted
to teaching written by two economists who have
played an important role in advancing the teaching of
economics throughout the profession.’

‘Almost every instructor reading this book will gain some valuable, low-cost,
new ideas to supplement their courses.’
– R.M. Whaples, Choice
This book demonstrates alternatives to the lecture and chalkboard approach
that dominates the teaching of economics, providing a range of innovative
teaching techniques and examples aimed at engaging undergraduates in the
learning of economics.

Teaching Economics
As Europe moves toward an integrated academic
system, European economics is changing. This
book discusses that change, along with the changes
that are happening simultaneously within the
economic profession. The authors argue that modern
economics can no longer usefully be described
as ‘neoclassical’, but is much better described as
complexity economics. The complexity approach
embraces rather than assumes away the complexities
of social interaction.

Educating Economists
The Teagle Discussion on Re-evaluating
the Undergraduate Economics Major
More Alternatives to Chalk and Talk
Edited by David Colander, Middlebury College and
KimMarie McGoldrick, University of Richmond, US
Edited by William E. Becker, Indiana University,
Bloomington, US and University of South Australia,
Michael Watts, Purdue University, US
and Suzanne R. Becker
‘This volume is an excellent outcome of an American
Economic Association Committee for Economic
Education project aimed at advancing the teaching
of economics within a liberal arts context. Dave
Colander and KimMarie McGoldrick assembled a
most able panel of contributors for this effort that
includes dialogue on what should be taught, how it
should be taught, and how that teaching and learning should be assessed
and rewarded. To the editors’ credit, they have not attempted to dictate policy
but to stimulate debate on the topics. This volume is a must read for anyone
seriously interested in the teaching of economics at the tertiary level.’
This fascinating sequel to the 1998 Teaching
Economics to Undergraduates provides more
alternatives to the lecture and chalkboard approach
that dominates university economics teaching.
Distinguished contributing authors provide a wide
range of innovative teaching techniques and
examples aimed at more effectively engaging
undergraduates in the learning of economics.

‘A number of rival schools of thought exist in
economics today. Even mainstream economics
has fragmented into different approaches. Multiple
connections exist between economics and other
disciplines. Not only is this story complicated, but
also it has major implications for any well-rounded
education in economics. This book faces up to these
problems squarely, combining insights on the current
fragmentation of economics with useful discussions
of the implications for the economics curriculum in
universities. Only the blinkered and the narrow-minded will fail to see the
enormous value of this discussion.’
