The Economics Update is divided into 5 sections, each introduced by a narrative update and followed by several pages of related graphics. Each narrative update includes 2 questions for students. The first question reviews a key concept introduced in the narrative; the second calls for an application or analysis of the related graphic(s) on the narrative page. Answers are provided on page iv. The 58 graphics on pages 1-26 replicate or complement many of those in Economics Today and Tomorrow and Economics: Principles and Practices. A correlation chart on pages v-vi provides a handy guide for finding new graphics in the Economics Update that update and supplement your most frequently used graphics in your Glencoe economics textbook. The Economics Update provides students with the opportunity to extend their knowledge and understanding of economic trends and issues. It invites inquiry, comparisons, hypothesizing, and generalizing. Students become aware of the need for current, precise data that they can apply to their overall understanding of the nation and of the world in which they live. Standard & Poor's is a leading source of data, news and analyses on regional, national, and global economic developments. Standard & Poor's information is used by industrial firms, financial institutions, and government agencies for setting policy, managing financial positions, planning production, formulating marketing strategies, and a range of similar activities. Standard & Poor's data services represent the single most sophisticated source of information for organizations that need to understand the impact of the path of economic growth and of government fiscal and monetary policies on their activities. |
