Macroeconomics

Throughout Macroeconomics, 3rd Edition, authors Daron Acemoglu, David Laibson, and John List use real economic questions and data to help you learn about the world around you. Taking a fresh approach, they use themes of optimization, equilibrium, and empiricism to not only illustrate the power of simple economic ideas, but also to explain and predict what's happening in today's society. Each chapter begins with an empirical question that is relevant to readers' lives, and is later answered using data in the Evidence-Based Economics feature. As a result of the text's practical emphasis, you'll learn to apply economic principles to guide the decisions you make in your own daily life.
