Features: Macroeconomics focuses on analyzing the determination and changes of economic variables from the perspective of the overall economy. This book systematically introduces the five major aspects of current mainstream macroeconomics: national income determination, changes in national income, macroeconomic issues, and macroeconomic policies. The book has a complete structure, rich content, up-to-date and abundant materials, and provides in-depth yet accessible explanations of some theoretical discussions. It provides detailed descriptions of relevant macroeconomic aggregates, particularly how GDP is calculated and how national economic statistics are used to obtain related data in research. It also offers clear analyses of the application of various macroeconomic models, as well as issues such as inflation and unemployment. The book also covers the basic theories of various economic cycle fluctuations. In writing this book, the author has considered the practical needs of actual teaching. Generally, when the difficulty of a textbook is high, teachers find it easier to make selections, as they can choose to teach certain content based on the students' level. Therefore, this book adopts a "higher-level" writing orientation, meaning the overall difficulty is slightly higher than the typical requirements for undergraduate teaching. In many places, it uses teaching model derivation methods to reflect some cutting-edge content of macroeconomics, and teachers can appropriately adjust and reduce some more challenging parts during specific lectures. Additionally, with the rapid development of modern information technology, the internet contains a vast amount of actual macroeconomic information. Teachers can combine relevant chapter content with real-world data obtained from the internet and apply it to teaching. This approach can help students better connect theory with practice.
