Mankiw's Macroeconomics is popular, widely adopted and well-known for clearly communicating the principles of Macroeconomics in a concise and accessible way. Every chapter of this textbook includes fully integrated real-world examples, stories and applications. These help to make economics accessible and entertaining while teaching intuitively and reinforcing critical concepts.
The European Edition keeps the formula that has made it a best-selling text, but introduces European cases and examples as well as relevant new theory content, for example there is a new chapter on European Monetary Union. The changes help to make an already successful book even more engaging and relevant for European students.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
* New chapter on European Monetary Union.
* Over 20 completely new case studies, with heavy adaptation of a further 25.
* 3 brand new 'For Your Information boxes.
Lessons about fiscal policy
In a small open economy with perfect capital mobility, fiscal policy is utterly incapable of affecting real GDP.
“Crowding out”
• closed economy:
Fiscal policy crowds out investment by
causing the interest rate to rise.
• small open economy:
Fiscal policy crowds out net exports by
causing the exchange rate to appreciate.
