Different types of figures

• "Playing god" and changing parameters of figures
  • How does changing exponents in C-D prefs change indifference curves? 
  • What does the math mean?
• Acting like one of the decision-makers? 
  • Choosing quality/effort 
  • Choosing a cost-minimizing/profit-maximizing point
• Acting like a policy-maker/mechanism designer/impartial spectator

Resources that will accompany graphs 

(eventually)

• Instructional videos/introductions to the graphs (describing what to do and how)
• Discussion questions
• Multiple-choice questions
• Text explanations of figures
• Three versions: 
  • Blank for slides 
  • Descriptive for learning and play
  • Embedded MCQs for homework
