Which U.S. President generated the highest budget deficits? part of Starting Point: Teaching and Learning Economics:Teaching Methods:Interactive Lecture Demonstrations:Examples
Students use data from the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to rank the magnitudes of nominal budget deficits or surpluses generated between 1969 and 2008 and to identify the corresponding Presidential Administrations. The ranking is recalculated using budget deficits and surpluses measured as a percentage of GDP.
What is the opportunity cost of attending class? part of Starting Point: Teaching and Learning Economics:Teaching Methods:Interactive Lecture Demonstrations:Examples
Students calculate the opportunity cost for an activity that is very relevant to their livesâattending class. Explicit costs of attending school for one semester are identified and then reduced to a per class amount. Identification of the implicit cost entails listing several alternatives and estimating a per class amount for the alternative with the highest value. The opportunity cost of attending one class is the sum of the explicit and implicit costs. Not only do students benefit from a practical application of an important economic concept, they also become more aware of the importance of attending class!
