Description
Macroeconomic policy is one of the most important policy domains, and the tools of macroeconomics are among the most valuable for policymakers. Yet there has been, up to now, a wide gulf between the level at which macroeconomics is taught at the undergraduate level and the level at which it is practiced. At the same time, doctoral-level textbooks are usually not targeted at a policy audience, making advanced macroeconomics less accessible to current and aspiring practitioners.
This book, born out of the master's course the authors taught for many years at the Harvard Kennedy School, fills this gap. It introduces the tools of dynamic optimization in the context of economic growth and then applies them to a wide range of policy questions—ranging from pensions, consumption, investment, and finance to the most recent developments in fiscal and monetary policy. It does so with the requisite rigor but also with a light touch and an unyielding focus on their application to policy-making, as befits the authors’ own practical experience.
Advanced Macroeconomics: An Easy Guide is bound to become a great resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and practitioners alike.
