Publisher's Synopsis
The goal of this text is to teach to students enough macroeconomic theory and enough about interpreting economic data to enable them to make managerial decisions. It begins with some basic statistical tools and ideas and moves through basic macroeconomics (i.e. GNP, money, macroeconomic models, aggregate demand and supply, inflation). The final section include a chapter on interpreting data releases with samples from the Wall Street Journal and a chapter on the managerial use of macroeconomic forecasting services.;This book should be of interest to MBA students on intermediate macroeconomic courses; and undergraduate intermediate macroeconomics courses taken by business students.
