(One task of macroeconomics is to understand and predict f...)
One task of macroeconomics is to understand and predict fluctuations of economic activity over time. Economists seek to identify the moving forces of aggregate activity and to describe how these lead to changes in employment and output. Some of these forces, such as military spending, are accepted as fundamental by almost all economists. But there are also important moving forces that appear within a given model as "noise", that is, as departures of economic behaviour from the structural relations of the model. In this book a leading macroeconomist discusses several aspects of a noisy economy in order to refine our understanding of booms and recessions. This book contains three essays based on Arthur M. Okun Memorial Lectures that the author delivered at Yale University in 1988. It provides insights for better understanding business cycles and forming useful government policies.

Since the late 1960s, Robert Hall's research has had a significant impact on the macroeconomic study of consumer behavior. The Rational Consumer brings together eight articles that represent key points in the development of Hall's ideas on consumption over the past two decades. In his introduction, Hall puts this work into perspective, tying together his ideas and pointing to how consumer behavior should work in the future given what he has discovered.Working within the standard intertemporal models of consumption - the overlapping generations model and the infinite lifetime model - Hall's contributions to methodology have been especially important. Particularly noteworthy was his challenge to the prevalent model in which current consumption was seen as deriving from expected future income. Hall argued that consumption was, instead, based upon the actual present discounted value of future income.Robert E. Hall is Professor of Economics at Stanford University.Contents: Introduction. The Allocation of Wealth among the Generations of a Family that Lasts Forever - A Theory of Inheritance. The Dynamic Effects of Fiscal Policy in an Economy with Foresight. Consumption Taxes versus Income Taxes: Implications for Economic Growth. Stochastic Implications of the Life Cycle-Permanent Income Hypothesis: Theory and Evidence. The Sensitivity of Consumption to Transitory Income: Estimates from Panel Data on Households (with Frederic S. Mishkin). Intertemporal Substitution in Consumption. Survey of Research on the Random Walk of Consumption. The Role of Consumption in Economic Fluctuations.

From the inner book flap: "In this persuasive treatise on tax reform Hall and Rabushka recommend the adoption of a simple income tax. They claim that this tax would commit the United States to a balanced budget within three years. A low, simple and fair flat tax is possible."

The iconic "Bert and I" stories were first created by Yale University students Marshall Dodge and Robert Bryan in the late 1950s and performed around campus. The two amateur storytellers soon recorded a short ten-inch album of eleven stories for friends and family, but ultimately pressed just a few hundred. However, growing popularity prompted them in 1958 to record and release the seminal commercial album of New England humor and storytelling-Bert and I ... And Other Stories From Down East. Featuring nineteen stories, the album depicted Maine fishermen and woodsmen with dry, classic humor and set the tone and direction of the genre for decades. This CD combines The Return of Bert and I (1972) and Bert and I Stem Inflation (1976). The thirty-five rib-tickling tracks include "Gagnon," "Harry Startles Wiscasset," and "Frost, You Say."

In recent years, innovative texts in mathematics, science, foreign languages, and other fields have achieved dramatic pedagogical gains by abandoning the traditional encyclopedic approach in favor of teaching a shorter list of core principles in depth. Two well-respected writers and researchers, Bob Frank and Ben Bernanke, have shown that the less-is-more approach affords similar gains in introductory economics. The authors introduce a coherent short list of core principles and reinforce them by illustrating and applying each in numerous contexts. With engaging questions, explanations and exercises, the authors help students relate economic principles to a host of everyday experiences such as going to the ATM or purchasing airline tickets. Throughout this process, the authors encourage students to become “economic naturalists:” people who employ basic economic principles to understand and explain what they observe in the world around them. Principles of Macroeconomics, fifth edition, is thoroughly updated with examples that connect to current events such as the financial crisis of 2008 and Great Recession of 2007-2009 as well as other topics commonly discussed in the media. In addition, the text is paired with McGraw-Hill’s market-leading online assignment and assessment solution Connect Economics, providing tools to enhance course management and student learning. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.
