Welcome & Comment on Text

This is the class weblog for Jack Julian's Econ 421: Macroeconomic Analysis, Department of Economics at IUP. This is now set up for Fall 2009.

It is probably a good idea to bookmark this page.

The text for this course is Macroeconomics, 7th edition, by N. Gregory Mankiw ISBN-10: 1-4292-1887-8. Unfortunately this text has just gone into its 7th edition so there are few, if any, used copies available.

You may pick up the 6th edition. There are two rather significant chapter changes but most of the text is the same between the two editions. All assignments and page references in class will be to the 7th edition. If you use a 6th edition it is important for you to compare pages with the 7th edition.

Good luck with the new semester!
