Student Attitudes Toward Economic Issues
Author: Robert S. Balough
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This paper surveys 260 students taking Principles of Macroeconomics and/or Principles of Microeconomics during the fall semester of 2005 to see whether attitudes toward economics have changed compared to a similar survey given to students in 1988. General results show that students in the more recent sample find introductory economics to be relatively easier to understand and more enjoyable than students in the earlier sample. These beliefs do depend on gender and grade point averages. In addition, students appear to become more conservative in their beliefs when enrolled in a principles course.
