OPTIONAL Books for the course

  1. Mankiw, Macroeconomics, 11th Edition by MacMillan PressThis is "the" standard macro textbook. Very good and well written.​  I'll reference it and use some sections, but it's optional.

  2. Garin-Lester-Sims, Intermediate Macroeconomics by Julio Garin, Robert Lester and Eric Sims. ("GLS Macro").  This is a truly modern macro textbook that is really more of an "advanced undergraduate" macro book than an "intermediate" book. The authors' site is here in case they update.

Outline, Notes and Readings

For this course, I mostly use my own notes. I will reference the Mankiw text and will also provide links to the relevant GLS chapters as well.
