This shorter macroeconomics text stands apart from the more standard macroeconomics texts currently available. The exposition of macroeconomic models is streamlined but self-contained with the ultimate goal of understanding the major macroeconomic issues on the agenda of European economic integration. The first section of the text equips the reader with a basic macroeconomic tookkit for analysing European policy issues. The second section looks at applications of macroeconomic theory relating to issues of European economic integration. This text eliminates the need for two books when introducing students to the economics of European integration by first exploring the theory and then going on to apply this to real-world issues. the text uses an open-economy approach throughout. Learning features such as margined definitions, exercises and clear charts and tables are presented in a clear, user-friendly design. this, taken with the generally concise approach, provides the student with an excellent and comprehensible introduction to European macroeconomics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding text that comes with killer web site, February 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Primer in Eu Macroeconomics (Paperback)

This is the most unique macroeconomics text I have seen. In concise 350 pages it not only provides students with the theory behind business cycles, growth, unemployment, inflation and such things. It also introduces all the macroeconomic issues important in connection with European integration, not only in theory, but with many applications and case studies. It is accompanied by a killer site, undoubtedly the best such place currently on the web, where you may watch macro concepts explained as cartoons or play and learn with interactive applets.
