Advanced Macroeconomics (Mcgraw-hill Economics): 9781260185218: Economics Books @ desertcart.com Review: Amazingly clear! - This is a textbook about advanced (i.e. microfunded) macro theory (i.e not history). Models are evaluated both in terms of their theoretical soundness and in terms of their fit to empirical data (i.e. the realism of their assumptions and predictions are assessed against the facts). There are no good microfunded general equilibrium models of the business cycles (aggregate economic fluctuations). However, this does not mean we cannot use economic analysis to properly study other macroeconomic phenomena. In fact, Romer goes onto presenting models on the following topics: - Consumption - Investment - Financial Markets - Unemployment - Monetary Policy - Fiscal Policy Review: Very good & up-to-date introduction to macro - Starting with the 1st, I've read 2 previous editions of Romer's text, & he does a terrific job of keeping the material up to date. The current version (5th ed) is a very balanced survey of key ideas in academic macro, & quite readable, as well. Maybe a little light on technical details (tho perhaps appropriate for even a fairly advanced "introduction"), but outstanding at describing the development of key ideas & discussing & empirical support for the models. Recommended for serious economics students & non-academic professionals that want to update their understanding of academic macro.

Good though hard!
Bought it before two years, haha, forgot to leave feedbacks. Nice book for advanced macroeconomics, however, the math is so hard and I could not quite handle the book to say the truth. However, good book if you have strong math background.

O produto chegou no tempo previsto. Aparenta ser um livro que foi usado, com rabisco em uma páginas, mas nada que atrapalhe a leitura. A capa veio com um leve defeito.

Molto completo, chiaro ed esaustivo. Necessita tuttavia, per la completa comprensione, di una buona conoscenza dei presupposti fondamentali, soprattutto dal punto di vista matematico.

Starts with growth and the Solow model and then explains the original Keynesian models before giving an account of the new Keynesian approach.Not for those who are less able mathematically. Good for final year undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Because the author is Romer, good on endogenous growth theory.

In my opinion, the coverage is wide, but not too technical. Useful not only for academic class, but also for research and analysis related works.
