A toolkit is a set of principles and techniques that
can be applied to think about current and future problems.
Good toolkits are light enough to be portable, yet
comprehensive enough to do the job. Economics is no
different. Professor David Begg
Welcome to the Student Area of the Foundations of
Economics website.
A student CD-ROM, which features self-tests, mini-cases
and other resources to help your better understand
economics, accompanies the book by David Begg, Stanley
Fischer and Rudiger Dornbusch.
You will find all these resources and more here on
the website. In addition to the study resources on
the CD-ROM, we offer you chapter-by-chapter Revision
Notes to help you recap the material in the book,
the EconGraph toolkit to draw graphs on-line, an On-line
Glossary to check your understanding of key terms,
and Mini-Cases to illustrate economics in the real
world. The website will be updated, so visit it regularly
to see what new features have been added.
All of these study aids are designed to be used alongside
the textbook, to help you build a "toolkit"
of principles to understand economics. We hope you
find the resources useful for your assessments and
course work during your introductory economics module.
