Macroeconomics [with MyEconLab in CourseCompass]

by Andrew B. Abel, Ben S. Bernanke

The fifth edition of Macroeconomics emphasizes a core set of ideas across a variety of topics, providing a comprehensive, balanced treatment of classical and Keynesian economics. The update booklet features discussions about the most notable transitions in important macroeconomic topics and data since the publication of the Fifth Edition. This text plays upon students' natural curiosity and desire for relevance by offering a modern, applied approach to traditional topics and an in-depth look at areas of macroeconomics not covered by other texts. The flexibility gained by using this comprehensive approach gives instructors the opportunity to tailor course coverage and topic sequence. Pedagogical tools reinforce concepts, and end-of-chapter features help students to organize their learning. Accompanying exercises in the text provide a unique opportunity for students to analyze the very data that policy makers, professional economists, and government officials rely on in their day-to-day work. The Fifth Edition is enhanced by MyEconLab, the online homework system featuring automatically graded graphing problems and proven tutorial tools.

Textbooks are never fun, but this provided a good overview of Macro.

Не лучшая книга, не рекомендую... Ожидал большего. С другой стороны, интересно, что авторы целиком полагаются на IS-LM модель, игнорируя модель совокупных спроса-предложения. На самом деле, мне это даже нравится: студент больше внимания уделит игре сил на конкретных рынках (в этой книге, кстати, активно разработан и labor market, что очень хорошо), держа в голове, как бы, эволюцию равновесия. Жалко только, что так сжато описана открытая экономика, в обмен на академические подробности реальных бизнес-циклов и т.п.

This textbook (I read the 10th edition) is a great resource for those interested in developing a greater understanding of basic macroeconomic models. Framing the discussions around the two primary schools of economic thought—Keynesian and classical—the authors discuss each model in the context of each, and provide a comprehensive analysis of the merits and pitfalls of the theories. I particularly recommend this textbook for its introduction of the IS-LM model—and more generally, for any beginner economics student.

I give this book 4 star only because of its exercises. It has the best set of problems: both solved & asked to solve.
This book is unusual in its writing style compared to other books. To many, it may appear confusing & that's normal. Yet it has some details unavailable in other books, topics like J-curve etc.

I actually learned a lot from this book and class! Macro theory > micro theory

Already I've learned that America's abysmal savings rate isn't as awful as it appears on first glance. Maybe next I'll learn that eating Irish children is a good way to provide income to starving Irish families.

Thought the book was well organized but there were some mistakes in the text (mostly in the numerical problems) so it could have been better edited.
