An Analysis of the Marginal Products of the One- and Two-Semester Introductory Economics Courses.

Elliott, Ralph D.; And Others

Journal of Economic Education, v10 n1 p18-25 Fall 1978

Discusses a study to compare results of one- and two-semester college economics courses in three areas--recognition and understanding of economic concepts, simple application, and complex application. Findings indicated that, although students did learn more in two semesters, one could question whether the marginal cost exceeded the marginal benefits. (Author/DB)
