Alex Tabarrok on teaching the Solow Model in Principles…
The Solow Model is a very important model for understanding economic growth. But students in introductory economics courses often miss out on this vital theory, leading to significant gaps in their grasp of economic growth. In this session, Alex Tabarrok will discuss how to incorporate the Solow Model into principles classes, a method also reflected in his textbook "Modern Principles of Macroeconomics," co-authored with Tyler Cowen. The Solow model can be made accessible to principles students and fun to teach by focusing on the key ideas. Attendees will learn strategies for effectively conveying the Solow Model to introductory students, ensuring a deeper and more relevant understanding of the dynamics of economic growth.

Justin Wolfers & Kevin Milligan: Modern approaches to Business Cycles
In this session Wolfers and Milligan will discuss how the macroeconomic model that we inherited from the 1960s no longer works for today's economy or today's students. They will then introduce two modern approaches. The first is to switch the standard model with a method of teaching AD-AS that both reflects the modern economy and links with modern macroeconomics.

Q&A with Paul Krugman
In this session, Paul Krugman will take questions from Ryan Herzog and Aisling Winston on the economic impact of AI and what it might mean for college graduates. Some early indications suggest that it will have a leveling effect — narrowing differences between star performers and the rest. On the other hand, there is some reason to believe it might reduce the demand for college graduates in general. Participants can submit questions beforehand and there will be a live Q&A included.

Teaching Business Cycles - A Modern Approach
The macroeconomic model that we inherited from the 1960s no longer works for today's economy or today's students. In this talk, Professor Wolfers will introduce two modern approaches. The first is to switch the standard model with a method of teaching AD-AS that both reflects the modern economy and links with modern macroeconomics. The second approach replaces the AD-AS model by emphasizing the method that modern macroeconomists take, focusing on an IS-MP analysis (an updated version of IS-LM), which connects to the Phillips Curve. The key, Wolfers argues, is to provide an authentic account of the modern macroeconomy that reflects ongoing policy discussions, media debates, and higher-level classes..

Building a Solid Foundation for Principles of Economics Students
Supply, demand, and equilibrium are the most fundamental concepts in economics. However, most modern textbooks devote only a single chapter to this. The result is teachers either spend much more time on these topics than the text would indicate or they end up building understanding on a weak foundation. In this webinar, Professor Stevenson will uncover why her co-authored textbook uniquely spends three chapters building an essential foundation to get all students more confident and interested in studying economics.

In July 1981, the Federal Funds rate was 19.1%. In the subsequent four decades, the United States, along with much of the rest of the world, has seen a steady and seemingly inexorable march to zero. Even before the pandemic, interest rates were historically low. In this session, Greg Mankiw will look at the causes and effects of this long decline. He will discuss what does it mean for the nation’s fiscal policy and for your retirement planning.
