  • Ask the experts" boxes highlight the latest insights from leading economists. This current feature focuses on the IGM economics experts panel, a longitudinal survey of several dozens of the world’s most prominent economists. Every few weeks these experts review a proposition and explain whether they agree with it, disagree with it or are uncertain. These diverse opinions clearly demonstrate how economists are often united, divided or simply don’t know what to think.
  • Expanded video lecture series with quick quizzes for microeconomics highlights the unique Mankiw approach. Updated, engaging videos offer an alternative to reading the text and are divided into convenient segments that allow students to focus only on concepts they find most challenging. Fresh examples and student-oriented language reinforce the approach in Mankiw's printed book. Brief quizzes evaluate understanding as students progress through the videos.
  • “Build the graph" moves step-by-step through complex graphical figures. Designed specifically for introductory microeconomics students, these interactive exercises in MindTap help students understand complex graphs by decomposing a graph into finite steps that build upon one another. Students then practice graphing by drawing a similar scenario from scratch. This drawing method supports a kinesthetic learning approach -- all within the context of the interactive eBook.
  • Current "video applications" feature the author introducing chapter content.

Completely digital versions of "Chapter Quick Quizzes" and "Problems and Applications" are available in MindTap and are fully gradable.
