Macroeconomics by N. Gregory Mankiw

Fully revised and updated, Macroeconomics, 3rd edition presents new events, data, and ideas with the same elegance and coherence that made the previous editions such favourites with students and teachers all over the world.

Fascinating case studies help students understand the broad applicability of the concepts they are learning. New in Macroeconomics 3rd edition: * A more intuitive description of real-business-cycle theory. * A more complete discussion of hyperinflation. * Dozens of new end-of-chapter problems.
