Macroeconomics : A Contemporary Introduction is a fully revised, up to date text for business students undertaking macroeconomics for the first time. This 3rd edition maintains the author's accessible approach to the theory underpinning macroeconomics, with an emphasis on contemporary Australian macroeconomic policy. It incorporates new material on Keynesian economics, the Solow growth model, leading economic indicators, interest rate determination, balance of payments and exchange rates. Core macroeconomics concepts, as we as fiscal and monetary policy and international finance, are emphasised and updated to reflect current policy concerns. Examples and case studies are drawn from Australia and the Asia-Pacific region to make the material relevant to local students.
