Lester's MACROECONOMICS: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS, 1st EDITION, bridges the gap between the way macroeconomics is done by academic economists, whether in universities or at the Federal Reserve, and the way macroeconomics is taught to undergraduate majors. Models of search and matching, endogenous growth and intertemporal consumption are introduced in a graphical framework suitable for undergraduate sophomores, juniors and graduate MBAs. The book offers many different types of assessment, including in-chapter knowledge checks and solutions, end-of-chapter review questions and problems, and several types of online resources.
