Editorial Reviews

This text provides a treatment of the basic competitive model, presenting macroeconomics in a manner that builds on the way economic researchers and economists in policymaking positions frame their analysis. The text can be used for a one-semester course covering principles of micro- and macroeconomics, or for a one-quarter course devoted solely to micro- or macroeconomics. This third edition integrates recent developments associated with innovation and the digital economy. There are new optional chapters on areas such as the labor and capital markets and investing. Stiglitz teaches economics, business, and international and public affairs at Columbia University. Walsh teaches economics at the University of California-Santa Cruz. Annotation c.
