Macroeconomic Policy: Demystifying Monetary and Fiscal Policy: 2016 (Springer Texts in Business and Economics)

Author: Farrokh K. Langdana
Publisher: Springer
Category: Economic Theory & Philosophy, Economic Theory & Philosophy, Macroeconomics, Macroeconomics, Political Economy, Political Economy, Taxation
Book Format: Hardcover

This book is an applications-oriented

text designed for individuals who desire a hands-on approach to analyzing the

effects of fiscal and monetary policies. Significantly updated to provide an

understanding of the post-financial crisis economy, the third edition covers

the subprime crisis in detail, discussing monetary policies enacted in its

wake, such as quantitative easing, tapering, carry trades, CMOs, and monetization.

Even more globally oriented than previous editions, this volume links the Great

Recession and US Monetary Policy to global hot capital flows and currency

pegs. This edition also revisits the Eurozone in significant detail;

discussing its history, its macroeconomic design challenges, and its present

imperiled state, in the context of global macropolicy. Finally, this

volume analyzes the China syndrome and explores the effects of

slower trend growth in China on the rest of the world. India, with its

different-almost supply-side-approach to macropolicy is also studied in detail.

The third edition contains several brand-new cases and media articles that are

carefully positioned to relate explicitly to theory, and to look ahead to and

preempt global macro situations and polices in the years to come. MBA students and

Executive MBA students who appreciate the importance of monetary and fiscal

analysis will find this text to be right on target. Financial analysts and

individual investors who need to strip away economic myths and jargon and

systematically examine and understand the effects of macro policies on

variables such as inflation, output, employment and interest rates, will also

find the book extremely useful.¿


Dr. Langdana's areas of specialization include monetary and fiscal theory and international trade and global macroeconomic policy. His research deals with macroeconomic experimentation and the role of stabilization policy in an expectations-driven economy. He has published several articles as well as five books in this area. His new book, co-authored with Peter Murphy and published by Springer Press, is titled International Trade and Global Macropolicy.
