Macroeconomics, 5th Edition International Student Edition

ISBN: 9780393417333

Chad Jones’s Macroeconomics teaches students to think like modern macroeconomists, with strong and engaging growth coverage and a more intuitive approach to models. Praised by adopters for its clear explanations, flexible organization, timely case studies, data, and emphasis on problem solving, Macroeconomics gives students the practical tools they need to understand and analyze the macroeconomy. This innovative text makes macroeconomics less complicated without sacrificing rigor.

Features

  • A flexible approach that engages students with the story of economic growth: Jones introduces growth early and thoroughly to engage students with the possibilities and power of macroeconomics.
  • Current and relevant: Macroeconomics can be difficult because students can’t “see” it happening like they can with microeconomics. Jones uses current examples, data and cases to ground these ideas in long-term trends seen in current events.
  • The text with an international focus: Jones emphasises the world economy in three ways: early coverage of long-run growth, use of the open economy in the short run and two chapters at the end of the text on international trade and international finance.
