Produktbeschreibung
This book focuses on the rapidly growing research field of imperfect competition, asymmetric information, and other market imperfections in a macroeconomic context. It brings together leading researchers from the USA and Europe to examine the implications for macroeconomic policy of market imperfections in output, labour and financial markets. All the contributions are original, and include several general surveys and expository chapters which synthesize the large literature, along with some state-of-the-art research at the frontier of the discipline. This is the first volume to focus exclusively on this literature. It should be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in macroeconomics.

This book focuses on the rapidly growing research field of imperfect competition, asymmetric information and other market imperfections in a macroeconomic context. Whilst the book includes state of the art research at the frontier of the discipline, it also includes several general surveys which synthesize the large literature in the area in recent years.

Brings together leading researchers from the USA and Europe to examine the literature on the new macroeconomics.
