Incentives matter in economics. In this book, readers will learn about tax incentives and rebates that motivate buyers to purchase or invest in certain items. Large-scale and personal real-life examples of incentives are also presented, including facts related to pandemic-era impacts. Colorful and clear graphics, such as maps, charts, and infographics, give readers an alternative to text-heavy sources. Action-based activities will leave students with ideas for how incentives work in economics. This book also includes a glossary, index, suggested reading and websites, and a bibliography.
