, the study of the sum of individual economic decisions. In other words, it is the study of the entire economy in terms of the total amount of goods and services produced, total income earned, the level of employment of productive resources, and the general behaviour of prices.

Macroeconomics can be used to analyse how best to influence government policy goals such as economic growth, price stability, full employment and the attainment of a sustainable balance of payments. Systematically structured and written in a clear and accessible language, the present book provides all fundamental aspects macroeconomics, elaborately.

The author admires all points of view and the result is a comprehensive, detailed, unbiased view of modern macroeconomic theory (less)

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 throughout for closed and open economies helps readers develop the economic intuition with which to address a diversity of macroeconomic problems. Applied chapters show how the models can be used to analyse performance in OECD economies over the past twenty-five years.

The chapters on growth present an in-depth coverage of the Solow-Swan, endogenous and Schumpeterian models that allow the reader to understand how these approaches can be used to answer the big questions of growth: why some countries are rich and others, poor; why some catch up and others do not (less)

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES: The complex macroeconomic theories have been explained with diagrams, simple models and numerical examples; simple algebra has been used to reinforce analytical exposition of complex macroeconomic models; a plenty of numerical examples have been cited to enable students to understand how macroeconomic theory is applied to arrive at conclusions; carefully crafted review questions have been included at the end of each chapter to aid students test their understanding of the chapter; solutions to difficult numerical problems have been given in the appendix at the end of the book (less)
