Macroeconomics

by Andrew B. Abel, Ben S. Bernanke, Dean Croushore

"This book is intended for the intermediate macroeconomics course. This book is also suitable for all readers interested in the field of macroeconomics."" "Abel, Bernanke, and Croushore present macroeconomic theory in a way that prepares students to analyze real macroeconomic data used by policy makers and researchers. With a balanced treatment of both classical and Keynesian economics, the comprehensive coverage makes it easy for instructors to align chapters to fit their own syllabi.
Students in this course often struggle to see how the macroeconomic models compare to one another, and fit into the big picture. This text uses a unified approach based on a single economics model that provides students with a clear understanding of macroeconomics and its classical and Keynesian assumptions. The main objective of the eighth edition is to keep the book fresh and up-to-date, especially in light of the recent crises in the United States and Europe and many new tools used by the Federal Reserve in response to the crisis. To reflect recent events and developments in the field, revisions have been made throughout the text, and additional new applications, boxes, and problems are included. Available with the award-winning MyEconLab!MyEconLab is a powerful assessment and tutorial system that works hand-in-hand with "Macroeconomics."

Textbooks are never fun, but this provided a good overview of Macro.

Не лучшая книга, не рекомендую... Ожидал большего. С другой стороны, интересно, что авторы целиком полагаются на IS-LM модель, игнорируя модель совокупных спроса-предложения. На самом деле, мне это даже нравится: студент больше внимания уделит игре сил на конкретных рынках (в этой книге, кстати, активно разработан и labor market, что очень хорошо), держа в голове, как бы, эволюцию равновесия. Жалко только, что так сжато описана открытая экономика, в обмен на академические подробности реальных бизнес-циклов и т.п.

This textbook (I read the 10th edition) is a great resource for those interested in developing a greater understanding of basic macroeconomic models. Framing the discussions around the two primary schools of economic thought—Keynesian and classical—the authors discuss each model in the context of each, and provide a comprehensive analysis of the merits and pitfalls of the theories. I particularly recommend this textbook for its introduction of the IS-LM model—and more generally, for any beginner economics student.

I give this book 4 star only because of its exercises. It has the best set of problems: both solved & asked to solve.
This book is unusual in its writing style compared to other books. To many, it may appear confusing & that's normal. Yet it has some details unavailable in other books, topics like J-curve etc.

I actually learned a lot from this book and class! Macro theory > micro theory

[Vicky Genova · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this twice this year for my exams. Overall a great resource for studying intermediate macro and the authors are brilliant economists.

Already I've learned that America's abysmal savings rate isn't as awful as it appears on first glance. Maybe next I'll learn that eating Irish children is a good way to provide income to starving Irish families.

Thought the book was well organized but there were some mistakes in the text (mostly in the numerical problems) so it could have been better edited.
