Overview

A modern approach to macroeconomics.

Williamson’s Macroeconomics uses a thoroughly modern approach by showing readers how to build macro economic models from micro economic principles. This approach helps to make the text consistent with the way macroeconomic research is conducted today.

The fourth edition weaves the recent events of the financial crisis into the material.
