Synopsis

Building upon the success of the first edition, this new edition of Macroeconomics: A European Text is fully revised and updated and provides a comprehensive analysis of modern macroeconomics within a European and global context. With an emphasis upon greater accessibility and clarity the text presents competing approaches in a balanced and lucid manner with continual reference to data and examples from the real world. This text is innovative in four important respects: - it offers a contemporary approach that incorporates the `new' macroeconomics and emphasises microeconomic foundations and intertemporal aspects - it progresses rapidly to an open economy analysis, which is directly relevant to modern European economies - it presents a truly international perspective, giving the student economic data, timely examples, and lively case studies taken from the European and global scene - it is written in a lucid style that guides the students to the frontiers of the subject The second edition has been substantially revised to take account of the changing European and global macroeconomic environment. Two new innovative chapters have been added. This book is intended for undergraduates taking the compulsory course in intermediate macroeconomics. Supplementary for students taking options in European economics or open economy macroeconomics.

About this title

Review:

Here is a textbook which really deals with the modern approach to macroeconomics and is a beautiful blend of theory, empiricism and policy. A must for general and business economics students. |s Professor Rick van der Ploeg, University of Amsterdam |d 11/12/1996 -- Professor Rick van der Ploeg, University of Amsterdam

Intermediate in level, outstanding in quality. Already the standard by which Europe's students are judged. |s Professor David Begg, Birkbeck College |d 11/12/1996 -- Professor David Begg, Birkbeck College

Once upon a time we had to use texts that dealt exclusively with US developments and debates; the second edition of Burda and Wyplosz's groundbreaking European macroeconomics text ensures that will never be the case again. |s Professor Charles Bean, London School of Economics |d 11/12/1996 -- Professor Charles Bean, London School of Economics

The book offers an open economy analysis and provides economic data, and gives relevant examples and interesting case studies from European and world economies./Charles Wyplosz/Journal of Macroeconomics Spring 1998, Vol.20, No.2 -- Charles Wyplosz Journal of Macroeconomics Spring 1998, Vol.20, No.2

There is a German saying: The "better" is the enemy of the "good". This saying applies to the second edition of this fabulous book. It is the very best European text on macroeconomics that I have seen. |s Professor Hans-Werner Sinn, University of Munich |d 11/12/1996 -- Professor Hans-Werner Sinn, University of Munich
