This book surveys the imperfect-information approach to inflation and its real effects. Two types of informational limitation are considered. One involves situations in which individuals have asymmetric information about the current general price level and consequently confuse relative and aggregate changes in prices. The other considers situations in which individuals cannot distinguish permanent from transitory changes as soon as they occur, creating a temporary but persistent confusion between such changes. The author presents the arguments …

For courses in intermediate macroeconomics. Blanchard is the book that helps students to see the big macroeconomic picture by integrating one unifying model throughout the text, without glossing over the core concepts that matter. Blanchard doesn't take shortcuts in his explanation, because students will use these tools again and again, throughout their academic and professional careers. The organization allows for the greatest degree of flexibility, so professors can direct their class as they see fit.

Dealing entirely with open economy macroeconomics, this text reflects a concern to understand macroeconomic principles and applications in the context of the open economies of Western Europe and the rest of the world. It provides an exposition and evaluation of the three main macroeconomic models, the income expenditure model, the IS LM model and the AD AS model, in addition to the application to real world issues and policy. Finally the AD AS framework provides an opportunity for examining recent controversies concerning the supply side, growt…

The distinctive feature of this book is that it provides a unified framework for the analysis of short- and medium-run macroeconomics. This gives students a model that they can use themselves to understand a wide range of real-world macroeconomic behaviour and policy issues. The authors introduce a new graphical model (IS/PC/MR) based on the 3-equation New Keynesian model used in modern macroeconomics. The three equations are * the IS curve * the Phillips curve and * an interest rate-based monetary policy rule. The use of a common framework thr…

An original and interesting macroeconomics text. It is a self-contained volume which any student and teacher of economics within the higher education sector will find extremely useful.

The last twenty years have witnessed tremendous advances in the mathematical, statistical, and computational tools available to applied macroeconomists. This rapidly evolving field has redefined how researchers test models and validate theories. Yet until now there has been no textbook that unites the latest methods and bridges the divide between theoretical and applied work. Fabio Canova brings together dynamic equilibrium theory, data analysis, and advanced econometric and computational methods to provide the first comprehensive set of techni…

Pindyck and Rubinfeld now sells twice as many copies as its next closest competitor, making it by far the best-selling text in the market. Why? Our book is clearly written, accurate, and well loved by professos and their students. If you want a text that gives students a solid understanding for how microeconomics can be used outside of the classroom, this is the right book for you.
