This new Macroeconomics text deals entirely with Open Economy Macroeconomics, reflecting a concern to understand macroeconomic principles and applications in the context of the open economies of Western Europe and the rest of the world. It is also distinctive in providing an exposition and evaluation of the three main macroeconomic models, the income-expenditure model, the IS-LM model and the AD-AS model, in addition to the application to real world issues and policy. Finally the AD-AS framework provides an opportunity for examining recent controversies concerning the supply-side, growth and business cycles. In summary this is a macroeconomics textbook which provides a new framework for understanding contemporary macroeconomic theory, policy and applications.

This highly topical book examines the development and future prospects for economic and monetary union in Europe. European Monetary Integration examines the background to economic and monetary union from a historical perspective that distinguishes between national and supranational currency areas, and an optimal currency area theory. The gradualist transition process is also considered. The authors, leading academics from five European countries, consider the principal economic policies to be followed in achieving economic and monetary union. The role of the European central banks and monetary policy is examined, along with fiscal policy in monetary union and the operation and policies of the labour markets. The authors discuss the economic relationships between the euro area and other European economies including the transition and accession economies of Eastern Europe.

This book examines the extent to which spatial economic convergence has taken place in the European Union and analyses the effectiveness of regional policy. The authors examine the differing economic features of the European regions and provide an institutional background to regional policy at both the national and Union level. Theories of economic growth are discussed and assessed in terms of the relative performance of regional economies in Europe. The authors then analyse the extent to which economic convergence, for example in terms of income and employment, has materialized across regions using a variety of techniques including mean reversion and time varying parameter procedures. The analysis is both at the level of the entire EU area and at more disaggregate levels that look at specific regions of the Union and at specific sectors. The book offers an assessment of some of the key regional policy instruments used and pays particular attention to the role of infrastructure investment as a tool for enhancing regional growth. It also considers the extent to which some non-regional specific policies impact upon the development of regional economies and explores the implications of closer monetary ties between member states.This book will be of interest to academics and policymakers concerned with regional science, European studies and macroeconomics.
