New Android App

I spent much of my summer working to take all of the flash games and activities I made to help students test their knowledge of Micro and Macro Economics and put them in an Android App. It is finally done. 7 of the activities are free with ads but you can get all 15 (that I’ve made so far) and get rid of the ads for just 99 cents. I’m hoping this project will break even (in the accounting sense) with the ads and the small fee. Please give it a download and if you like it, rate it on google play. 

I hope to have an IOS app eventually as well.

Moved to a New Domain!!

I decided to move the domain of the review website from APEconReview.com to ReviewEcon.com. There are multiple reasons for the move, but I believe it will be a better and more accurate domain name for the site. This will be the place where students go to review introductory college level Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Please update any bookmarks you have! In the mean time, the old domain will automatically route traffic to the new site. For the next few months you may still see some references to the old site but I hope to get those fixed ASAP.

Simplify the Economy with the Circular Flow

The circular flow model illustrates the flows of money, resources, and products throughout an economy. It’s not overly complicated, but there are some key things you should know about it. Here you will find a run down of each part of the circular flow model along with a 20 question flash review activity. 

Review Elasticity Coefficients so they aren’t such a stretch

The 2015 and 2016 Microeconomics exams both had FRQ’s focused on elasticity and calculating elasticity coefficients. Some of my own students felt inadequately prepared to tackle these tough questions. In an attempt to make sure that doesn’t happen again, I have created the elasticity review along with a 15 question activity to test your skills. With a little luck it will provide you with everything you need to know about elasticity so you don’t get caught off guard when the AP Exam rolls around in May.

Points, Prices, and Quantities

     Microeconomics graphs can be tricky. They are all variations of Supply and Demand and the axes of price and quantity are found on every graph. Analyzing those graphs, however, is where many students find some difficulty. Make sure you review these key points, prices, and quantities before you attack that AP Microeconomics exam in May.  Here you will find a flash review game with a whopping 65 questions to help test your knowledge on all the AP Microeconomics graphs. 

The DL on Foreign Exchange

​     The foreign exchange market shows up most years in some form on the Advanced Placement macroeconomics exam. Drawing the graph isn’t too difficult since it’s a looks like a typical supply and demand graph. But there are some differences you need to be aware of. Review it all; then check your understanding with the 20 question Flash game.

Phillips Curve: The long and the short of it

     The Phillips Curve is one of those concepts that hasn’t been a large focus of the Advanced Placement Macroeconomics exams in the past. But this model shows up often enough that it is important for students to understand what it is, how to draw it, and how macro events impact the graph. Follow the link below and you will find an overview of its parts, curve shifters, and a Flash review game to test your understanding of this sometimes tricky graph. 

Aggregate Supply, Aggregate Demand and the illusive long-run equilibrium

     I would would venture to say the AS/AD model of the economy is the most common element  you will find on the AP Macroeconomics Exam. This is because the AS/AD graph encapsulates the entire economy in 3 curves and illustrates the 3 macroeconomics goals of full employmentprice stability, and growth.  Follow the AS/AD Model link below to get a thorough review of all things AS/AD. Then, don’t forget to test your knowledge with the Flash game found at the bottom of the page.
