 Macroeconomics by Andrew B. Abel, Ben Bernanke
A standard macroeconomics text, revised to change the balance of the coverage of national income accounting, giving greater prominence to a discussion of the validity of the GDP as a measure of economic well- being; to simplify and streamline the initial presentation of the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model; and to give enhanced prominence to the role of financial deregulation in the macroeconomy. The coverage of economies in transition provides a framework for understanding events in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and China as these countries change their economic systems and open their markets to international influences. |

 The Economist Guide to Economic Indicators : Making Sense of Economics by Economist
Economic indicators provide invaluable insights into how different economies and different markets are performing, enabling practitioners to adjust their investment strategies in order to achieve the best return. However, in order to make the right decisions, you must know how to interpret the relevant indicators. The Economist Guide to Economic Indicators enables you to read - and use - indicators accurately and effectively. Covering approximately 100 indicators - including GDP, population, exchange rates, disposable income, public expenditure, and bond yields - this practical resource explains exactly what they are, why they are significant, where and when they're published, and how reliable they are. Perhaps most importantly, the Guide shows you how to interpret these indicators correctly, providing straightforward guidelines through which you can distill such vital information as start and end points for changes, inflational influences, time frames, and yard-sticks for judging future trends. |
