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 offers detailed descriptions of relevant macroeconomic aggregates, particularly how GDP is calculated and how national economic statistics are used to obtain relevant data in research. Additionally, it provides clear analyses of the application of various macroeconomic models, as well as issues related to inflation, unemployment, and other topics. The book also covers the basic theories of various economic cycle fluctuations.
The writing of this book takes into account the actual teaching needs of instructors. Generally, when a textbook is highly challenging, instructors find it easier to select and teach certain content based on the students' level. Therefore, this book adopts a "high-level" writing approach, meaning its overall difficulty is slightly higher than the typical requirements for undergraduate teaching. In many places, it uses teaching models for derivation to reflect some cutting-edge content in macroeconomics. Instructors can adjust and reduce some more challenging sections as needed during their lectures.
Furthermore, with the rapid development of modern information technology, the internet contains a vast amount of real-world macroeconomic data. Instructors can combine relevant chapter content with actual data obtained from the internet and apply it to teaching. This approach helps students better connect theory with practice.
