Macroeconomics is widely praised for its ability to present theory as a way of evaluating key macro questions, such as why some countries are rich and others are poor.

Students have a natural interest in what is happening today and what will happen in the near future. Macroeconomics capitalizes on their interest by beginning with business cycles and monetary-fiscal policy in both closed and open economy. After that, Gordon presents a unique dynamic analysis of demand and supply shocks as causes of inflation and unemployment, followed by a dual approach to economic growth in which theory and real-world examples are used to compare rich and poor countries.

Macroeconomics is widely praised for its ability to present theory as a way of evaluating key macro questions, such as why some countries are rich and others are poor.

Students have a natural interest in what is happening today and what will happen in the near future. Macroeconomics capitalizes on their interest by beginning with business cycles and monetary-fiscal policy in both closed and open economy. After that, Gordon presents a unique dynamic analysis of demand and supply shocks as causes of inflation and unemployment, followed by a dual approach to economic growth in which theory and real-world examples are used to compare rich and poor countries.
Theory as a way to evaluate macro questions. Gordon believes that all macro questions relate to a core set of basic macro puzzles and presents theory with this in mind. Students not only see how theory applies to the real world, but they also learn how to recognize the connections between concepts, such as output and unemployment.

Patient and early introduction to business cycles. Because students care most about today’s issues, business cycles and inflation are discussed up front. The IS-LM model is presented early, and an integrated treatment covers monetary and fiscal policy stabilization, fiscal and foreign deficits and national saving, and the interplay between the balance of payments and exchange rates.

A dynamic version of the AS-AD model. Gordon pioneered the dynamic analysis of aggregate demand and supply shocks that can cause inflation and unemployment to be either positively or negatively correlated. In this edition, the rising prices of oil provide a new test for this theory.

A clear distinction between short- and long-run macro models. By clearly distinguishing short-run macro (business cycles and their prevention) from long-run macro (economic growth and the long-run consequences of debt and deficits), Gordon helps students understand how different models relate and connect to one another.

Pedagogically designed figures. Color is used consistently throughout chapters to demonstrate the link between theoretical curves and related data graphs.

Case studies. Directly following theoretical discussions, case studies bring the material to life using real-world examples to which students can relate.

International Perspective boxes. Students gain a well-rounded view of the global economy through International Perspective boxes that compare economic performance in the United States with selected foreign countries.

Self-Tests. At the end of every section, Self-Tests immediately check to ensure students retain the topics covered. Answers are provided at the end of each chapter.

Data Appendixes. A robust set of data tables is available as appendixes, including annual data for the U.S. back to 1875 and quarterly data back to 1947, as well as annual data since 1960 for other leading nations. This data can also be downloaded from the Companion Website .
