Reviews
'This textbook is an invaluable resource for business students and practitioners interested in various macroeconomic topics and the most pressing issues of macro policy. Davidson, Hauskrecht, and von Hagen rigorously introduce the foundations of modern macroeconomic theory with clarity and grace. The depth and breadth of the macroeconomic analyses make this book a necessary reference for students and business executives.' Sunny Wong, University of Houston
'Davidson, Hauskrecht, and von Hagen provide a modern and thorough approach to macroeconomics, loaded with go-to time-series indispensable for managers, policy-makers, and researchers alike. They also develop a simple and elegant common model that carries across chapters, ideal for Business-oriented Master's programs. With emphasis on an ever more global business arena, Macroeconomics for Business is a unique blend of currency in the field and theoretical parsimony for a data-driven world.'
