“…and between courses in different departments. Breece (1988) provides a thoughtful review of the different types of software available for use in the classroom. In the section concerning spreadsheets, he writes, "This technical innovation appears to have many applications in the leaching of economics; however, for some reason such programs are grossly underutilized" (p. 500).…”

This paper applies spreadsheet software to intermediate‐level consumer theory concepts. Spreadsheets help make the concepts more accessible while allowing students to explore the ideas in more depth. Areas of application are utility functions, income and substitution effects, price indices, measures of welfare change, and the optimal saving rate. We chose the examples to stimulate awareness and discussion of the many classroom uses for four important Excel spreadsheet tools: three‐dimensional (3‐D) graphs, iteration, Goal Seek, and Solver.

Social scientists rely on visual aids to teach a myriad of concepts, but seldom do we advance beyond artless chalk drawings to convey the complex theories that we profess. Although instructors of economics, for example, have experimented with student participation, educational software, simulations, and laboratory settings to transcend the difficulties of learning economics in a traditional classroom, the chalkboard is still the medium of choice for visual illustration. The advent of modern computers and presentation software packages offers the potential for significant advancements in visual aids. This paper motivates the use of modern visual aids based on a brief survey of relevant learning theory, describes specific techniques for communicating economic concepts using computers, and provides an overview of the hardware and software available for the enhancement of classroom teaching.
