Macroeconomics

Pitched at the optimum level for undergraduate students, the third edition of this successful and widely adopted intermediate level UK macroeconomics text has been very extensively revised and updated. The authors have ensured that the existing stengths of the book's tried and tested approach are retained whilst the latest theoretical developments and policy controversies are examined.

• One of the few leading non US oriented texts for UK students
• Retains traditional methods of analysis but adds material on both new classical and Keynesian models

Keith Shaw and Mike McCrostie are both in the Department of Economics at the University of Buckingham and David Greenaway is in the Department of Economics at the University of Nottingham. Pitched at the optimum level for undergraduate students, the third edition of this successful and widely adopted intermediate level UK macroeconomics text has been very extensively revised and updated.

The authors have ensured that the existing stengths of the book's tried and tested approach are retained whilst the latest theoretical developments and policy controversies are examined. It provides the UK undergraduate with:

• Traditional methods of analysis (IS/LM) as well as neo classical and neo Keynesian approaches
• An emphasis on the leading contemporary conceptual issues and an historical perspective on their development
• A highly developed and successful text with a non-US orientation that makes sense of the UK context for macroeconomic policy and debate

Based on long teaching experience Macroeconomics will continue to be an essential text for second and third year undergraduate courses.
