STUDENTS OF ECONOMICS
This Test Bank is designed to accompany
Michael Veseth's textbook entitled
Introductory Economics, and the companion paperbacks, Introductory
Macroeconomics and Introductory Microeconomics. Its
purpose is to assist
the
instructor in developing examinations which will test the student's
comprehension, recall, and ability to analyze and interpret the basic concepts
discussed
in the text. To these ends, we have prepared more than 2,000
five-response,
multiple-choice questions. These questions reflect the logical
structure
of the text. For each question, the correct letter choice has been set as
a
capital letter. Each chapter of the Test
Bank contains questions of two general types. The first ten questions in
each chapter are versions of the multiple-choice questions found in the
corresponding chapter of the Coursebook.
The remaining
questions
in each chapter examine the student's comprehension of the basic
concepts
discussed in the text as well as the application of these concepts to
real-world
events. In many cases, several variations of the same concept or
issue
are presented. This allows the instructor to prepare different examinations
over
similar concepts and topics either during the same term or from
one
term to the next. We have included page references after each question in the Test Bank to enable the instructor to
find precisely where the material is discussed in the text and the companion
paperbacks. (A chapter conversion table follows this
introduction
for your convenience.) Since the first 16 chapters in the textbook
are the
same as in Introductory
Macroeconomics, only one set of references are given. However, beginning
with chapter 17 in the Test Bank, double
references are given to reflect the differences in chapter number between the textbook
and Introductory Microeconomics. The
references set first, in boldface type, refer to Introductory Economics. The references set in roman type refer
to Introductory Microeconomics.
We would like to acknowledge the various forms of assistance provided by the following
individuals in the development of these questions: Professors Walter L. Johnson
and Stephen Buckles at The University of Missouri-Columbia; Professor John
Soper at Northern Illinois University; Lecturer John Tressler at The
University. We thank them all for their respective contributions.
