Macroecomics, 2nd Cdn Edition Doug Curtis

Curtis/Irvine/Begg Macroeconomics, Second Canadian Edition, focuses on the core topics that students need to understand in introductory macroeconomics. Its primary goal is to focus on the essentials that first year students should master: macroeconomic theory and policy. Macroeconomics examines the Canadian economy as an economic system, and embeds current Canadian institutions and approaches to monetary policy and fiscal policy within that system. Particular emphasis is given to the recent structure, performance, and evolution of the Canadian economy, and to the current targets and instruments of Canadian monetary and fiscal policy. The Aggregate Demand and Supply model is introduced early in Curtis/Irvine/Begg, and is used to help students understand macroeconomic topics by tying them together within a consistent analytical framework. The text begins with coverage of short-run business cycle fluctuations in output and employment, under constant price conditions, then moves to longer-term issues of inflation and growth. A more detailed study of the balance of payments, exchange rate policy, and monetary and fiscal policy under different exchange rate systems completes the text.
