Handbook of Macroeconomics

With contributions from the world's chief macroeconomists, its reevaluation of macroeconomic scholarship and speculation on its future constitute an investment worth making. - Serves a double role as a textbook for macroeconomics courses and as a gateway for students to the latest research- Acts as a one-of-a-kind resource as no major collections of macroeconomic essays have been published in the last decade
