Review
“The book places welcome emphasis on financial markets (both domestic and international).” - Mark Tandall, Stanford University
“Accessible, current, and relevant… students will enjoy the balance between model development and real-world applications. I really enjoyed the integration of the financial crisis, housing crash, oil shock and exchange rates. Wonderful!” - Carlos F. Liard-Muriente, Central Connecticut State University
“It is the best textbook to use in an Intermediate Macro course that emphasizes the ongoing financial crisis and its impact on the real economy. The discussion of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe in the second edition is valuable.” - Ted Burczak, Denison University
