This book presents the stylized facts on the important variables (output, inflation, money supply and interest rates, etc.) of the macro economy and uses them to differentiate how well particular economic theories perform or fail to do so. On the determination of aggregate demand, this book presents two approaches: the traditional IS-LM analysis under the assumption that the money supply is exogenous because the central bank uses its monetary policy to control it, and the emerging IS-IRT analysis under the assumption that the interest rate is the exogenous monetary policy variable set by the central bank to manipulate aggregate demand in the economy. The IS-IRT analysis is important for the macro analyses of many economies, yet is totally neglected in most textbooks on macroeconomics. The chapter on Paradigms in Economics introduces students to the heritage of ideas in macroeconomics, and the evolution of ideas and approaches over the last two centuries. It also provides the justification for the simultaneous relevance of both Classical ideas and Keynesian ones. The two growth theory chapters go beyond the Solow growth model to cover the broad evolution of growth from Malthus's theory to the present endogenous approaches, and the link between money supply, inflation and growth over very long periods.Errata(s) Errata Errata for Study GuideContents: Introduction to Macroeconomics: Output, Unemployment, and the Basic Concepts Money, Prices, Interest Rates, and Fiscal Deficits Introduction to the Open Economy: Exchange Rates and the Balance of Payments Short-Run Macroeconomics: Determinants of Aggregate Demand: The Commodity Market of the Closed Economy Aggregate Demand in the Open Economy Under an Interest Rate Target: IS-IRT Analysis Aggregate Demand Under a Money Supply Operating Target: IS-LM Analysis Full-Employment Output and the Natural Rate of Unemployment Output in the Short Run: The Role of Expectations and Adjustment Costs Actual Output, Disequilibrium, and the Interaction Among Markets Employment, Unemployment, and Inflation Paradigms in Macroeconomics Topics in Open Economy Macroeconomics: The Foreign Exchange Market, IMF, and Globalization The Open Economy Under a Fixed Exchange Rate Regime Growth Economics: Classical Growth Theory Advanced Topics in Growth Theory Business Cycles, Crises, and The International Transmission of Economic Activity Readership: Undergraduate college and university courses in macroeconomics.
