Economics: an introduction; exercises

Economics, an introduction: exercises forms a whole with the textbook Economics, an introduction by André Decoster (editor). It is an indispensable study tool to master the subject matter from the textbook. Each chapter in the textbook contains open questions and multiple choice questions that together cover the entire subject matter. The order of the questions respects the structure and layout of the textbook. Throughout the book, the questioning evolves from relatively easy to quite difficult. Even within an open question, the level of difficulty of the sub-questions can still increase. The really difficult questions have not been added to discourage you, but to challenge you to explore your own boundaries. The step-by-step solutions to the exercises can be found on the website www.upl.be/economie. With this 'delocalisation' of the answers, we hope to stimulate you to first formulate your own answers and only then check whether you are on the right track. Those who can immediately view the answer learn much less than those who first look for the right answer without help. The website also gives the authors the opportunity to continually update the answers based on feedback from readers. Comments and suggestions are always welcome at economie@upl.be. Actively using this exercise book is an excellent way to test the knowledge acquired from the textbook, both in a school context - some questions were taken from previous exams - and in the context of self-study. The authors hope that this exercise book will contribute to the economic insight of those who have to or want to study the textbook Economics, an introduction.
