Beskrivning

Unlike most books that concentrate on the microeconomics of household consumption and saving, Household Dynamics builds on these as the foundations for macroeconomic theory and policy. Written by a prominent author in the field, this book presents a modern approach to the link between micro and macroeconomics.
