Macroeconomics

Responding to the most recent global challenges by analysing data from new events, and developing new policy examples, the eighth edition of Macroeconomics: A European Text continues to provide a comprehensive and modern analysis of macroeconomic theories.

While retaining their focus on those features that characterise the European economy, the authors explore matters surrounding the global financial crisis, the European debt crisis, and the most recent effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on both labour supply and consumption. Students are supported throughout with real-life case studies, which provide rich and qualitative examples, helping them both to connect with the concepts and policies presented and to appreciate how economics works in practice.

The authors encourage students to stretch their understanding further by presenting them with a set of essay questions at the end of each chapter, motivating them to think more critically.


The eighth edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats and is supported by online resources.
