Macroeconomics provides a solid foundation in contemporary macroeconomics, analysing different theoretical approaches and contextualising the theory with up to date monetary policy examples.
The policy examples have been updated throughout to ensure that the reader can relate the economic concepts to the real world. The focus is on European economies but the increasing importance of economies like China and India is also addressed. Other changes to the new edition include a streamlined table of contents, designed to closely reflect the structure of modules, and the expansion of the Online Resource Centre to include additional European and global examples and further mathematical material.
