Introducing Advanced Macroeconomics covers a rich variety of topics in growth and real business cycles and uses. Beginning with an examination of macroeconomics for the long run before considering the economy in the short run, the third edition continues to help intermediate-level students develop their understanding and technical skills so that they can become comfortable with more advanced macroeconomics material and tools.

Recognizing mathematics to be a common area of vulnerability, the authors carefully explain all derivations. They also concentrate on the cornerstone models to ensure students can form a deep comprehension of how to apply and examine them.

Discussion is motivated by empirical data throughout, demonstrating how real life and theory are connected, and encouraging readers to dissect model predictions and the policy issues they relate to. Guided exercises at the end of every chapter help students to build their confidence as they tackle more challenging material.
