Stick to the Tulips
This is not a good text book. The troubles start on the back cover where the face of Ricky "Tricky" Van Der Ploeg stares at me. The exposition is cluttered and there is an obsession with the word intermezzo throughout.

an excellent book
While I was teaching a graduate level core macroeconomics course, I found that reference books are very limited. These include Blanchard & Fischer's book, Barro & Sala-i-Martin's book and Obstfeld & Rogoff's book. After I found a copy of this book, I immediately realized this book is very well written, and should be added to the above list. By reading this book, one can not only learn many insightful points and advanced technics, but also can have a good survey of literatrue in many areas. I suggest that anyone in the field of macroeconomics buy a copy (by the way, I believe David Romer's book is very badly written,I think Romer himself is technically weak). Similar Products
