Using a university-owned computer, English secondary schools participate in a game to stabilise the course of their "nation's" economy over a 20 year period. Information provided to participating students is included in the article. (JH)

A computer program and simulations that can be used to help college economics students understand dynamic economic processes are described. (RM)

Two computer programs that simulate the multiplier and accelerator processes are described. The simulations can be used in college-level economics classes or by pupils using their own personal computers at home. Very little knowledge of programing is required to implement the simulations. (Author/RM)

A questionnaire that college economics students can use to investigate the degree and nature of competition in the retail market for petrol is provided. A simple computer program is included to help in the analysis of the questionnaire. (Author/RM)

The principle of the multiplier-accelerator interaction is explained, and how a computer program to model it can be developed is shown. A series of simulations that can be used to explore the model's behavior are suggested. The simulations can be used in college-level economics classes. (Author/RM)

Encourages using spreadsheets to teach college economics because of their capacity to depict economic models, strengthen logical ability, and manipulate large amounts of data. Lists spreadsheet packages that are available and offers detailed instruction through graphs on how to design and interpret spreadsheets for classroom use. (CH)
