Product Description

Product Description

For courses in intermediate macroeconomics.

 

Blanchard is the book that helps students to see the big macroeconomic picture by integrating one unifying model throughout the text, without glossing over the core concepts that matter. Blanchard doesn’t take shortcuts in his explanation, because students will use these tools again and again, throughout their academic and professional careers. The organization allows for the greatest degree of flexibility, so professors can direct their class as they see fit.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introductory text suitable for undergrads, 28 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Macroeconomics (Prentice Hall series in economics) (Paperback)
This book provides a good introduction to macroeconomics. I have found it very useful in my course. The language is easy to understand although I would not call it perfectly concise. However, you can sense the power of the expert between the lines, the author definetely knows what he is talking about. The book can be re-read and used for reference during advanced studies.

5.0 out of 5 stars A home tutor, 9 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Macroeconomics Active Graphs Software Package (Hardcover)
This is the best book on intermediate macroecomics available. The facts and theories are explained in the most simple language with real life examples integrated within the chapters to teach one how to use economics in the real world. It is a must read for anyone wanting to understand macroeconomics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inutitive knowledge and technical understanding, 14 Jun 2006
By D. J. Bowen "deigokid" (York, Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The set text for Intermediate Macroeconomics at University of York.

As a combined arts student, I often struggle with economics. But the pace of this book is very challenging but at the same time comfortable.

Emphasis is placed on fiscal and monetary policy decisions and their implications. Perhaps the best feature of this book from the perspective of a weak mathematician, is that all proofs and derived equations are fully explained. Blanchard achieves this better than many other authors as he manages to maintain a good pace in his explanation and gives comprehensive explanation without patronising the reader.

After taking this course and using this book I now have both a technical and intuitive understanding of macroeconomics.

The only minor problem is it is written with respect to the US economy i.e. all examples in $.

Overall recommended
