Routledge Library Editions: Macroeconomics – serie

This volume, originally published in 1976, creates a basis from which the specialist topics of macroeconomics can be approached. The first section deals exclusively with a simple classical and Keynesian model within a single common framework to facilitate easy comparison. Although simple models, they provide a sound starting point for the more advanced ideas which make up the second part of the book. Recognizing tht one of the crucial purposes of macroeconomics is to provide advice for central government policy makers, the policy implications of the models are discussed.

Originally published in 1988, this book combines a systematic exposition of post-Keynesianism analysis with an account of its historical development. The role of major figures like Keynes and Sraffa in the development of the theory is closely detailed but the book also gives equal emphasis to Kaldor and the neglected Italian school. The theoretical implications of post-Keynesianism are outlined and challenging arguments for its importance are presented.

The 9 volumes in this set, originally published between 1964 and 1988, examine how governments use the instruments of macroeconomic policy in order to achieve their objectives. They include critical discussion of debates from the 1950s and 60s in the related fields of income-employment , trade cycles and general prices, and suggests various possible macro applications of mathematical programming techniques to optimization problems. They create a basis from which the specialist topics of macroeconomics can be approached and discuss the theory of economic growth and its relevance to policy for growth in developed economies.

This volume, originally published in 1979, examines systematically the nature of control in both capitalist and socialist economies, develops a theoretical and applied framework which can embrace both macroeconomics and plannng and demonstates the essential unity of all forms of macroeconomic planning by the consistent application of basic economic principles. Firstly, the authors establish why societies feel a need for government control and examine the mechanisms by which such social decisions are reached. Next they examine the nature of economic data, the modelling of economic systems nad a review of practical policy goals and instruments. The book then reviews the basic theory of optimisation and elaborates it in the context of planning for growth, for stabilisation and under uncertainty. It closes with an analysis of practical planning based on French and Soviet experience.

This book, originally published in 1978, makes use of and extends first-year macroeconomic theory to examine how governments attempt to use the instruments of macroeconomic policy in order to acheive their objectives. It begins with a discussion of the meaning and desirability of policy objectives, moves on to examine the workings of the main policy instruments and concludes with a chapter which outlines Tinbergen’s ‘fixed’ targets’ and Theil’s ‘flexible targets’ approaches to policy. A chapter on debt management considers the main theories of the term strcutyure of interet rates and their implications for debt management as an instrument of policy.

This analysis of macroeconomic policy, originally published in 1989, argues that key government objectives, such as reduced inflation, decreased unemployment and an adequate level of national saving can be achieved only by employing both monetary and fiscal policies, in conjunction with supply-side policies expressly designed to improve the workings of the labour market. Part 1 is a comparative analysis showing the effects of monetary and fiscal policy on the economy. Real-wage rigidity in the labour market is shown to have important consequences for the working of both types of policy, because it conditions the economy’s response to tax changes. Part 2 presents an econometric model which combines consistent stock-flow accounts with a full range of expectational effects. Part 3 presents an innovative technique for solving rational expectations models with the need for arbitary terminal conditions.

This volume, originally published in 1964, is intended for students of macroeconomic theory and mathematical programming. Part 1 includes critical discussion of debates from the 1950s and 60s in the related fields of income-employment , trade cycles and general prices, with an ultimate view to extending macroeconomic analysis and policy beyond the conventional purview; Part 2 suggests various possible macro applications of mathematical programming techniques to optimization problems, with a secondary view to forwwarding the synthesis of aggregative economic theory and multisectoral input-output analysis.

When it was first published in 1972, this was the first book to analyze the experience of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa in the field of macro-economic policy. The characteristics of this group of countries gives them much in common with both industrialized and emerging economies. Their experience of economic policy-making has, therefore an unusually wide relevance.

Bringing together the proceedings of the 1979 and 1980 annual conferences of the Association of University Teachers of Economics the papers in this volume discuss: the effect of social security on private saving; an analysis of aggregate consumer behaviour; the philosophy and objectives of econometrics and other topics in macroeconomic and econometric analysis.

This book is concerned with the theory of economic growth and its relevance to policy for growth in developed economies. The various factors hwich determine the potential growth rate of a developed economy, and the problems involved in actually realising it, are analysed. The author also dicusses how growth and a satisfactory balance of payments may be achieved together.
