This accompanying book to Mankiw and Taylor's Economics does three things. First, it reinforces the text and improves the student's understanding of the material presented in it. Second, it provides the reader with experience in using economic theories and tools to solve actual economic problems, that is it bridges the gap between economic concepts and economic problem solving. Finally, the Workbook and Study Guide includes a self-test to confirm areas of successful learning and to highlight areas needing improvement. Each chapter in the Workbook and Study Guide corresponds to a chapter in the main textbook - Mankiw and Taylor's Economics.
