5 Preface This test bank contains over 4,000 questions. The questions are organized by the major headings within each chapter (or special topic) of Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice. Similar questions under each major heading are also grouped together. This makes it easy for instructors to assemble balanced quizzes and examinations that reflect their preferences. The first ten questions of each chapter (and the first five questions of each special topic) are designed for use as a quiz. The Coursebook and online practice questions, which can be found on the textbook s Web site at provide students with approximately 15 study questions for each chapter and 10 for each special topic. The multiple-choice questions from those sources are also contained in the test bank and designated as such. Many instructors will want to integrate the questions from these sources into their quizzes and exams in order to provide their students with a strong incentive to work through these questions. Although the Coursebook and online questions are different than those in the test bank, they focus on the same concepts. Clearly, studying the Coursebook and online questions will help prepare students for their exams. Examview, the computerized testing software that accompanies Macroeconomics: Private and Public Choice contains all the questions in the printed test bank. Using ExamView, instructors can add or edit questions, instructions, and answers, and select questions by previewing them on screen, selecting them randomly, or selecting them by criteria. ExamView can automatically scramble questions, multiple-choice options, and questions sections, if instructors choose to do so to create different test versions. Instructors can also create and administer quizzes online via the Internet, a local-area network (LAN), or a widearea network (WAN) using ExamView. Joe Calhoun of Florida State University played a leading role in the revision of this test bank. We know how important it is for you to have a quality test bank. We believe this supplement will provide you with an integrated package of quality questions a powerful tool with which to motivate your students to perform at a higher level. If you have comments or suggestions for its improvement, we would be delighted to hear from you. Joseph Calhoun James Gwartney David Macpherson Russell Sobel Richard Stroup v
