This course presents students with an in-depth understanding of modern macroeconomics. It intends to bridge the gap between basic and graduate-level macroeconomics. After this course, we will familiarize the important stylized facts, and at the same time equipped with the analytical tools for graduate study.
高级宏观经济学会为高年级本科生提供对于现代宏观经济学的深刻理解。它将会作为一个基础宏观和研究生宏观的一个桥梁。在这门课程中，我们会熟悉宏观经济的经典实施，并且掌握研究生阶段需要的分析工具。
The book continues its tradition as the standard text and the starting point for graduate macroeconomics courses and helps lay the groundwork for us to begin doing research in macroeconomics and monetary economics. Romer presents the major theories concerning the central questions of macroeconomics. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by examples of relevant empirical work, illustrating the ways that theories can be applied and tested. In areas ranging from economic growth and short-run fluctuations to the natural rate of unemployment and monetary policy, formal models are used to present and analyze key ideas and issues.
This comprehensive introduction to economic growth presents the main facts and puzzles about growth, proposes simple methods and models needed to explain these facts, acquaints the reader with the most recent theoretical and empirical developments, and provides tools with which to analyze policy design. The treatment of growth theory is fully accessible to students with a background no more advanced than elementary calculus and probability theory; the reader need not master all the subtleties of dynamic programming and stochastic processes to learn what is essential about such issues as cross-country convergence, the effects of financial development on growth, and the consequences of globalization.
The book is a groundbreaking text from one of today's leading economists. It gives graduate students not only the tools to analyze growth and related macroeconomic problems, but also the broad perspective needed to apply those tools to the big-picture questions of growth and divergence. It introduces the economic and mathematical foundations of modern growth theory and macroeconomics in a rigorous but easy to follow manner.
