DESCRIPTION:
The only pre-requisite continues to be principles of economics.. Macroeconomics employs a model-based approach to macroeconomic analysis and demonstrates how various models are connected with the goal of giving students the capacity to analyze current economic issues in the context of an economic frame of reference. Dornbusch, Fischer, and Startz has been a long-standing, leading intermediate macroeconomic theory text since its introduction in 1978. A balanced approach explains both the potential and limitations of economic policy. This revision retains most of the text's traditional features, including a middle-of-the-road approach and very current research, while updating and simplifying the exposition
I recall earlier editions of the book which were quite good. The new editions are a reproach to respectable I doubt that Fischer or the new co-author wrote much in the book. Probably a young and not so educated graduate student did. Dornbusch is deceased . I recall earlier editions of the book which were quite good. The new editions are a reproach to respectable academia and an unmitigated embarrassment to professionals teaching from this book.. "Macroeconomics" according to Vernon Norman. This book is incredibly straightforward and easy to read and understand. Stanley Fisher and company provide excellent examples for each of the fundamental models and also show how models and theory are connected to real world policy situations. I recommend this textbook, even if you're not an economics major.. Difficult to sift through and riddled with grammatical errors, My classmates and I found grammatical errors throughout. My personal favorite is two consecutive questions that use, "your" instead of, "you're." This book may have once been the best best around, but it isn't anymore.
