What Instructors are saying:
"A wonderful modern treatment of macroeconomics. Its discussion of growth is by far the best around, with its theory-based yet data-intensive approach. The short-run sections are also updated and refreshingly to the point, allowing great connections with U.S. business-cycle history. Since students also seem to like it better than the other books -- and I have tried the main competitors -- I am all set!"
-- Per Krusell, Princeton University
"Great textbook."
-- Steve Davis, University of Chicago Booth School of Business
"The treatment of growth is excellent. I also like the emphasis on interest-rate rules in the short-run material. A great strength of the presented short-run model is the explicit recognition of expectations formation in price setting (AS curve). This greatly assists talk about dynamics and implications of credibility of policy."
-- Bruce Preston, Columbia University
Useful Graphs for Teaching: Contains updates of many time-sensitive graphs from the Short-Run section of the book, as well as a number of other useful graphs that haven't yet made it into the text. (I'll update every 4 months or so).
