Cover: Loose-leaf Version for Macroeconomics: Canadian Edition, 6th Edition by Gregory Mankiw; William Scarth

The leading Intermediate Macroeconomics text keeps getting better

This special edition of Greg Mankiw’s intermediate macroeconomics text takes the same approach that made the parent text a bestseller, with coverage shaped to address fiscal policy, monetary and exchange-rate policy, deficit reduction, and other critical economic issues from the uniquely Canadian perspective.

Like Mankiw’s Macroeconomics, the Canadian edition teaches fundamentals with exceptional clarity by relating theoretical concepts to vital issues and policy debates, while illustrating those ideas with examples, cases, and research from Canada and Canadian researches. The new edition is significantly updated, with a streamlined version of Greg’s hallmark approach and powerful new digital learning options.

Features

Balances coverage of short-run and long-run issues, giving students a richer introduction to public policy in a Canadian context.

Integrates Keynesian and classical ideas to familiarize students with the importance of each approach.

Uses a variety of simple models to clarify complex concepts, because no one model can shed light on all facets of the field.

Incorporates real-world data and events through a rich and vivid variety of Canadian case studies and narrative examples, to show students the relevance of the material.
