Synopsis

This intermediate-level text concentrates on new macroeconomic analysis and is one of the first to focus on labor markets. Presenting a neo-Keynesian treatment of macroeconomics, whose use of wage bargaining and price setting under imperfect conditions make product and labor assumptions closer to the real world, the authors look at important applied work on unemployment, inflation, and external balances. They make available for the first time to undergraduates and non-specialists current literature on major questions of economic policy and performance, especially in Western Europe.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

This book illustrates the genesis of the new approach to macroeconomics in shortcomings of both the 'Keynes-reappraisal' school and the new classical macroeconomics. This intermediate level textbook makes modern micro-based macroeconomics accessible to undergraduates and to economists not working in the field.
