Product Description
Dornbusch, Fischer, and Startz' Macroeconomics has been a leading intermediate macroeconomic theory text since its introduction in 1978. This revision retains most of the text's traditional features, including a middle-of-the-road approach and very current research, while updating and simplifying the exposition. The text is now even easier to teach from. The only prerequisite continues to be principles of economics.

Reviews


macroecon made confusing
if you want to learn macroeconomics - buy mankiw's books - that's what my classmates tell me, but my professor decided that we should use this book. now i hate Macro..

interesting to read
this book provides ample of information for macroeconomic topics but regarding the question bank given after the end of each chapters it provides no answers specially concerning the technical one's.It becomes quite an onerous task to find a perfect solution for them.Overall the book is best recommended for students of economics.

Good Explanation of Macroeconomics
My major is in international business and this was my second course in macro. I found this to be a solid book in explaning the concepts.
My favourite part of the book was where they develop a model of the macro economy of a country - and explanin how the monetary and fiscal policy can alter how the economy moves. In light of the recent dip in the economy this was very useful in understanding why the Fed behaves the way it does.
Highly recommended for macro economics!

macroeconomics made simple
this is the best textbook available--its easy to understand, lively and well written

You Can Do This
If the 8th edition is anywhere near as clear and accessible as the 2nd, then this is THE book to learn macro from. Dornbusch et. al. have done a masterful job of laying out intermediate macro theory in clear and concise prose. It's the kind of book that makes you want to know more.

Keep it. You'll refer to it every once in while. I still do after 20 years. Lots of good econ guys at MIT (big surprise there, right?).

Check out Paul Krugman's popular work too, particularly the highly readable "The Return of Depression Economics," his analysis of the 1997 Asian Flu that started in Thailand. Good background for Act II of Monetary Crises and Emerging Markets starring Treasury Secretary O'Neill and George Bush, now playing in Argentina, Turkey, SE Asia, and geopolitical spheres of influence worldwide.
