This study book by Nils Gottfries offers a new approach to macroeconomics, in which microfoundations are combined with a Keynesian policy analysis. The book is written in a direct style and covers both the short and the long term, as well as closed and open economies, with comparisons for the Eurozone, the UK, and the US.
Overview
This clear and accessible text is suitable for macroeconomics students who want a thorough understanding of theoretical applications. The integrated approach combines theoretical consistency with practical examples and current policy debates. Gottfries' new approach supports the learning process by bringing together basic microeconomic principles and Keynesian policy analysis into one coherent model.
The book is ideal for advanced courses in macroeconomics and provides a bridge between undergraduate and master's level. The focus is on realistic market imperfections, international comparisons, and linking theory to data.
Key features:
- A realistic approach with attention to market inefficiencies and rigidities.
- International examples from, among others, the US, the UK, and the EU.
- Supported by up-to-date data analysis.
