Our first economics textbook is Macroeconomics by Greg Mankiw, who is the Robert M Beren Professor of Economics at Harvard University and for years taught the introductory economics course there. He also has a blog to keep in touch with students. Greg Mankiw has himself written more than one economics textbook, what makes this one so good? More generally, there must be a lot of macroeconomics textbooks to choose from: why does his one stand out? is able to recommend policy instruments and strategies to improve labor market performance and reduce the sources of inefficiency

Advanced Macroeconomics

Extensions of the AS-AD model of business cycles to allow a broader discussion of unconventional monetary policies such as quantitative easing and forward guidance Each chapter is accompanied by a number of guided exercises to support and then stretch students' analytical skills is aware of labor market imperfections and inefficiency arising from the nature of wage setting, negotiations, unions and externalities of jobs and workers search and matching Keeping the book up to date has been made even more challenging by the financial and macroeconomic crisis that began in 2008. I have deliberately chosen not to change the book fundamentally in response to the crisis: although I believe that the crisis will lead to major changes in macroeconomics, I also believe that it is too soon to know what those changes will be. I have therefore taken the approach of bringing in the crisis where it is relevant and of including an epilogue that describes some of the main issues that the crisis raises for macroeconomics. But I believe that it will be years before we have a clear picture of how the crisis is changing the field.

The book is an outgrowth of courses I have taught at Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and especially the University of California, Berkeley. I want to thank the many students in these courses for their feedback, their patience, and their encouragement. Four people have provided detailed, thoughtful, and constructive comments on almost every aspect of the book over multiple editions: Laurence Ball, A. Andrew John, N. Gregory Mankiw, and Christina Romer. Each has significantly improved the book, and I am deeply grateful to them for their efforts. In addition to those four, Susanto Basu, Robert Hall, and Ricardo Reis provided extremely valuable guidance that helped shape the revisions in this edition. Many other people have made valuable comments and suggestions concerning some or all of the book. I would particularly like to thank James Butkiewicz, Robert Chirinko, Matthew Cushing, Charles Engel, Mark Gertler, Robert Gordon, Mary Gregory, Tahereh Alavi Hojjat, A. Stephen Holland, Hiroo Iwanari, Frederick Joutz, Pok-sang Lam, Gregory Linden, Maurice Obtsfeld, Jeffrey Parker, Stephen Perez, Kerk Phillips, Carlos Ramirez, Robert Rasche, Joseph Santos, Peter Skott, Peter Temin, Henry Thompson, Matias Vernengo, and Steven Yamarik. Jeffrey Rohaly prepared the superb Solutions Manual. Salifou Issoufou updated the tables and figures. Tyler Arant, Zachary Breig, Chen Li, and Melina Mattos helped draft solutions to the new problems and assisted with proofreading. Finally, the editorial and production staff at McGraw-Hill did an excellent job of turning the manuscript into a finished product. I thank all these people for their help. Equilibrium unemployment rate – NAIRU model.

He has 13 or 14 chapters. Each chapter is a fundamental section of macroeconomics, starting with economic growth, going on to endogenous growth and the economics of ideas, economics of information, economics of monetary policy, fiscal policy, employment—you name it. It’s the most comprehensive, and it’s accessible.

Romer, Advanced Macroeconomics covers selected topics in advanced macroeconomics at undergraduate level and bridges the gap between intermediate macroeconomics for undergraduates and advanced macroeconomics for postgraduates. By building on materials in intermediate macroeconomics textbooks and covering the mathematics of some classic dynamic general-equilibrium models, this book will give undergraduate students a firm appreciation of modern developments in macroeconomics. This book examines the implications of government policies (such as fiscal policy, monetary policy and innovation policy) and devotes several chapters to economic growth, covering the ideas for which Paul Romer was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2018. Monetary Policy Rules and Instruments. The aim of the lecture is to present monetary policy rules followed by monetary authorities in practice: Taylor rule and inflation targeting. The second objective is to discuss the optimal choice of monetary instrument and the constraints that uncertainty and lags impose on the central bank policy.

Macroeconomic concepts and theories are among the most valuable for policymakers. Yet up to now, there has been a wide gap between undergraduate courses and the professional level at which macroeconomic policy is practiced. Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, Spring 2019.

Sala-i-Martin X., 2005, Internal and external adjustment costs in the theory of fixed investment, http://www.columbia.edu/~xs23.The course will teach you the main empirical business cycle characteristics of developed economies and the main empirical findings regarding the growth of developed and less developed nations. It’s really difficult from a mathematical point of view. Doing the problem sets is like writing papers. Going through each chapter and then the problem set of the chapter is really challenging and it takes a long time. To cut a long story short, it’s probably the most technical and difficult book you can think of if you want to study macroeconomics. But, obviously, it is the one that pushes you at the frontier. If Romer was the introduction to the frontier in a very broad sense, this one really is the frontier, but in a very narrow sense. The book covers a wide range of topics, but all the topics that the book covers can be recast in this particular analytical form that is called ‘recursive’.
