Description
The study of macroeconomics can seem a daunting project. The field is complex and sometimes poorly defined and there are a variety of competing approaches. Designed to complement the third edition of Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics, this manual enables students to further sharpen their skills in macroeconomic formulation and solution. Fully revised and updated, and including brand new problems and numerical examples, the new edition of Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics: Exercise and Solutions Manual uses worked example models to enable self-study and to allow the reader to begin to build their own models. It uses a range of problems with varying degrees of difficulty and provides solutions.

Reviews
This thoroughly revised and expanded version of Ben Heijdra's successful textbook continues to do an excellent job of keeping up with the current developments in macroeconomics and presenting them in a way that makes this material accessible to advanced undergraduate students. I find its progression from intermediate macroeconomics, through advanced macroeconomics, to the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium, which enables these diverse developments to be presented in a unified framework, to be particularly appealing. * Stephen J. Turnovsky, Van Voorhis Professor of Economics, University of Washington *
Review from previous edition This book will be an extremely valuable addition to the reading list for core graduate macroeconomics courses. It provides a fair and balanced account of the different schools of macroeconomic thought and the current state of the discipline. A large number of topics are treated; the sections which cover technical material are particularly praiseworthy. The authors convey a sense of enthusiasm about the subject and show that macroeconomics can, indeed, be exciting. * Professor John Fender, University of Birmingham *
This is a good addition to the textbook market. The coverage of topics is comprehensive and it takes students from an intermediate to graduate level with commendable ease. * Shaun Hargreaves Heap, University of East Anglia *
