Reviews
Review from previous edition This book will be an extremely valuable addition to the reading list for core graduate macroeconomics courses. It provides a fair and balanced account of the different schools of macroeconomic thought and the current state of the discipline. A large number of topics are treated; the sections which cover technical material are particularly praiseworthy. The authors convey a sense of enthusiasm about the subject and show that macroeconomics can, indeed, be exciting Professor John Fender, University of Birmingham This is a good addition to the textbook market. The coverage of topics is comprehensive and it takes students from an intermediate to graduate level with commendable ease Shaun Hargreaves Heap, University of East Anglia
This textbook fills a much needed gap between standard intermediate macro textbooks and the more advanced ones used in Ph.D training. It takes the student by the hand to lift them out of IS-LM and introduce them gently to the tools used in todays macroeconomic research. * Professor David de la Croix, Professor of Economics, Universite catholique de Louvain * This wonderful book provides a balanced and accessible account of modern macroeconomic theory. Both neoclassical and New Keynesian theories are presented in a consistent framework. Graduate students as well as advanced undergraduate students will find it an invaluable source of information. * Dirk Krueger, Professor, Department of Economics, University of Pennsylvania * A remarkably clear and coherent presentation of nearly all the analytical and conceptual tools one needs to be a good macroeconomist, from the short run to the long run, from simple to more complex models, from the closed to the open economy. An impressive tour de force. * Olivier Blanchard, Robert Solow Professor of Economics, Emeritus, MIT; Fred Bergsten Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics * This is a good addition to the textbook market.
