The Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics (repost)

Ben J. Heijdra, Frederick van der Ploeg, "The Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics"
Oxford University Press, USA | 2002 | ISBN: 0198776179 | 784 pages | PDF | 34,3 MB

This book deals with all the major topics of modern macroeconomics, summarizes the important approaches, and gives students a coherent angle on all aspects of macroeconomic thought. Each 'frame' deals with a separate area of macroeconomics, and each contains a summary section of key points,
further reading, and exercises.


Summary: Highly recommend
Rating: 5

This is an absolutely fantastic intro to modern macroeconomics.
the book is great for senior undergraduates and first year PhD students.
The book covers a number of important topics with great clarity. The punchlines and reading list in the end of each chapter are very useful.


Summary: Aonther best book on Advanced Macroeconomics
Rating: 5

Comprehensive and comprehensible. The book covers a wide range of topics. See the contents of book. Students equipped with (ordinary and partial) differential calculus and matrix skills should be able to access the materials with comfort. All equations are followed by clear exposition in words. Instead of Blanchard and Fischer's Lectures on Macroeconomics, Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics is another best reference that should be kept by every serious graduate student.


Summary: The best so far!
Rating: 5

Of several available graduate texts in macroeconomics in the market, this is the best so far. While D. Romer (2001) is too naive (technically and expositionally), Ljungqvist & Sargent (2004) is too advanced (BTW, T. Sargent (1987) and Blanchard & Fischer (1989) are too old). Heijdra & Ploeg (2002) is just the right book at the right level; it's extremely well-written and technically sophisticated!
