The Educational Choice Anomaly For Principles Students: Using Ordinary Supply And Demand Rather Than Indifference Curves, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton, Lauren Calimeris
The Educational Choice Anomaly For Principles Students: Using Ordinary Supply And Demand Rather Than Indifference Curves, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton, Lauren Calimeris
Robert L Sexton
The “surprise value” of many economic observations makes our discipline quite interesting for many students. One such anomaly is that providing “free” education in an effort to reduce the number of dropouts can often result in a lower level of educational quality purchased. This result is easy to show with indifference curves, but many instructors of introductory courses do not introduce this analytical technique. As a consequence, a result that many students find quite interesting is seldom presented. We show here that it is easy to clarify the educational choice anomaly with ordinary supply and demand curves. Moreover, the exercise …

Cross-Price Elasticity And Income Elasticity Of Demand: Are Your Students Confused?, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton
Cross-Price Elasticity And Income Elasticity Of Demand: Are Your Students Confused?, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton
Robert L Sexton
The authors demonstrate that most textbooks are ambiguous at best in their treatment of cross-price elasticity and income elasticity of demand. There is also no discussion of what initiates a price increase in discussions of substitutes and complements in the textbooks examined. The authors offer a remedy for these deficiencies.
