Principles of Economics

His most recent book--"Principles of Economics"--is the most talked about economics text of our time and will likely teach the next generations of undergrads the laws of supply and demand. We're sure his columns for "Fortune" will be as informative and elegant.

Imperfect Competition and Sticky Prices

These two volumes bring together a set of important essays that represent a "new Keynesian" perspective in economics today. This recent work shows how the Keynesian approach to economic fluctuations can be supported by rigorous microeconomic models of economic behavior. The essays are grouped in seven parts that cover costly price adjustment, staggering of wages and prices, imperfect competition, coordination failures, and the markets for labor, credit, and goods. An overall introduction, brief introductions to each of the parts, and a bibliography of additional papers in the field round out this valuable collection.Volume 1 focuses on how friction in price setting at the microeconomic level leads to nominal rigidity at the macroeconomic level, and on the macroeconomic consequences of imperfect competition, including aggregate demand externalities and multipliers. Volume 2 addresses recent research on non-Walrasian features of the labor, credit, and goods markets.N. Gregory Mankiw is Professor of Economics at Harvard University.

Principles of Macroeconomics

Principles of Macroeconomics 5th continues to focus on important concepts and analyses necessary for students in an introductory macroeconomics course. In keeping with the authorsa philosophy of showing students the power of economic tools and the importance of economic ideas, this edition pays careful attention to regional and global policies and economic issues, such as climate change and resource taxation. This edition contains significantly updated chapters on inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, the Reserve Bank of Australia, cash rate, aggregate demand and aggregate supply to fit the current context of the Australian economic landscape.

Optimal Taxation in Theory and Practice

We highlight and explain eight lessons from optimal tax theory and compare them to the last few decades of OECD tax policy. As recommended by theory, top marginal income tax rates have declined, marginal income tax schedules have flattened, redistribution has risen with income inequality, and commodity taxes are more uniform and are typically assessed on final goods. However, trends in capital taxation are mixed, and capital income tax rates remain well above the zero level recommended by theory. Moreover, some of theory's more subtle prescriptions, such as taxes that involve personal characteristics, asset-testing, and history-dependence, remain rare in practice. Where large gaps between theory and policy remain, the difficult question is whether policymakers need to learn more from theorists, or the other way around.

Disagreement about Inflation Expectations

Analyzing 50 years of inflation expectations data from several sources, we document substantial disagreement among both consumers and professional economists about expected future inflation. Moreover, this disagreement shows substantial variation through time, moving with inflation, the absolute value of the change in inflation, and relative price variability. We argue that a satisfactory model of economic dynamics must speak to these important business cycle moments. Noting that most macroeconomic models do not endogenously generate disagreement, we show that a simple sticky-information' model broadly matches many of these facts. Moreover, the sticky-information model is consistent with other observed departures of inflation expectations from full rationality, including autocorrelated forecast errors and insufficient sensitivity to recent macroeconomic news

The NAIRU in Theory and Practice

This paper discusses the NAIRU -- the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment. It first considers the role of the NAIRU concept in business cycle theory, arguing that this concept is implicit in any model in which monetary policy influences both inflation and unemployment. The exact value of the NAIRU is hard to measure, however, in part because it changes over time. The paper then discusses why the NAIRU changes and, in particular, why it fell in the United States during the 1990s. The most promising hypothesis is that the decline in the NAIRU is attributable to the acceleration in productivity growth

Study Guide for Mankiw's Brief Principles of Macroeconomics

David R. Hakes (University of Northern Iowa) has prepared a study guide that will enhance student success. Each chapter of the study guide includes learning objectives, a description of the chapter's context and purpose, a chapter review, key terms and definitions, advanced critical thinking questions, and helpful hints for understanding difficult concepts. Students can develop their understanding by doing the practice problems and short answer question, then assess their mastery of the key concepts with the self-test, which includes true/false and multiple choice questions.

Student Guide and Workbook

Macroeconomics

Balancing classical and Keynesian economics, this work uses the modern approach of presenting long-run analysis before short-run fluctuations, and covers the large open economy in depth. This edition includes a revised section that reflects the evolving nature of courses.

Economics

This Special edition of Mankiw and Taylor’s Economics provides highly topical and in-depth coverage of the global financial crisis of 2007-2009.Two new chapters are included: one on the causes of the recession and one on the remedies available to resolve it. Using a rich array of real-life examples, these new chapters provide students with up to date, real world insights into economic crises.Alongside these two new chapters, several of the existing chapters have been carefully revised and updated to clarify and enhance their content, and further expand students’ knowledge of economic theory. All of the features that made the original edition so successful and well-regarded have been retained including the the classic Ten Principles approach to economics – introduced in Chapter One and then referred to throughout the book, the distinctly European flavour including reference to UK and European institutions and policy, familiar terminology and cultural references, predominant use of the euro in discussions and UK and European case studies and press extracts.

Macroeconomics (Loose Leaf)

Mankiw's masterful text covers the field as accessibly and concisely as possible, in a way that emphasizes the relevance of macroeconomics's classical roots and its current practice.

It offers the clearest, most up-to-date, most accessible course in macroeconomics in the most concise presentation possible.
