Write a review
This is the second edition of the applications-oriented text designed for those looking for a hands-on approach to analyzing the effects of fiscal and monetary policies. It is useful for MBA students and financial analysts who want to get beyond the jargon.
This is an applications-oriented text that demystifies the linkages between monetary and fiscal policies and key macroeconomic variables such as income, unemployment, inflation and interest rates. Specially written "newspaper" articles simulate current macroeconomic news on asset-price bubbles, exchange rates, hyperinflation and more. Exercises and diagrams, and a global perspective -- incorporating both developed and emerging economies - make this a broadly useful, real-world oriented text on a complex and shifting subject.
