Product Description
Product Description
"Macroeconomics" has been a long-standing, leading intermediate macroeconomic theory text since its introduction in 1978. This revision retains most of the texts traditional features, including a middle-of-the-road approach and contemporary research, while updating and simplifying the exposition. The only pre-requisite continues to be principles of economics.
From the Publisher
Expanded coverage of growth from one chapter to two. Growth has been moved forward to chapters 3 and 4 of the text.
A new chapter (8) on the New Macroeconomics, greatly expands the section from former chapter 1. Covers rational expectations, the unit root of GDP controversy, real business cycles, and new Keynesian sticky price theory.
The two chapters on inflation and unemployment (16 & 17) have been condensed to one (7).
A middle of the road approach by experts. Controversies are explained but conclusions remain neutral.
Classic questions linked to modern treatments.
Dornbusch, a specialist in Latin American economics, and Fischer, First Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, speak with authority. Dick Startz, new co-author for 7e, was a graduate student of theirs and teaches at the University of Washington.
International coverage always strong with two updated chapters (12 and 21).

Format:Paperback
This is a great text for 2nd yr macro economics. Like Blanchard's text, this is more technical than mankiw and many others but unlike Blanchard is very clearly written and easily understandable.

Format:Hardcover
I used the 8/e for my intermediate undergraduate Macro class. It covers all the bases you'll need to, but is a bit lacking in more challenging material such as the calculus that you will be likely to use at this level of study. It is well written and interesting, but you'll probably need to supplement it here and there if your looking for real mastery of the topics.

Macroeconomics by Dornbusch and Fisher
27 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover
This was the most enjoyable and interesting book on economics I ever read during my Economics undergraduate studies at University of Toronto. I recommend this book highly. Even if you are not an eco major, you should read it too as it teaches you macro economics in a fun way. It is a tragic that his main author Professor Rudi Dornbursch passed away. He knew how to seduce readers to enjoy and learn economics. Read this book if you want to learn macro economics, it is just the BEST!!!
