Offering a unique blend of solid theoretical content and student accessibility, this text stands apart with its emphasis on intriguing applications that convey the prevalence of economics in everyday life. By applying economics to phenomenon that students are familiar with and interested in, this book demonstrates like no other text how economic analysis can be applied to virtually anything of interest, thus helping students develop true economic intuition. Additional student-oriented features include a unique active-learning format, an emphasis on developing economic analysis skills, and an outstanding visual program for exhibits and graphs. Content highlights include balanced presentation of major macro theories; a micro presentation that centers around the trilogy of objectives, constraints, and choices; thorough integration of international topics; and fully-integrated Internet features that offer hands-on exercises foe exploring economics on-line.

Early work focussed on problems of estimating and identifying distributed lag models commonly used in consumption and investment studies. Subsequently became interested in problems of estimating
and testing for effects of monetary and fiscal policy. Later research along these lines examined the role of supply-side versus demand-side effects in explaining the output-inflation trade-off.
Have tried to develop and emphasise concept of money’s role as a contrivance for dealing with the lack of synchronisation both in time and magnitude between income and outlay, and to integrate this concept into portfolio theory.
Member of Southern Economic Association (executive committee 1977-1979), American Economic Association.
