about the author
New Organization. The chapters on economic growth are now separated in their own part, both to highlight the importance of this topic and to prevent this material from complicating the development of the classical model. The new organization first presents the classical theory of income, prices, trade and unemployment. The classical model is the starting point for the growth theory and business cycle theory that follow.
N. Gregory Mankiw is Professor of Economics at Harvard University. After earning a Ph.D. in economics from MIT, he began teaching at Harvard in 1985 and was promoted to full professor in 1987. Today, he regularly teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in macroeconomics.
Updated Coverage. The new edition incorporates coverage of a number of recent events, including: ■ The introduction of the Euro ■ The continuing recession in Japan ■ The collapse of the dot.coms ■ The economic impact of the World Trade Centre disaster ■ The end of the longest “boom” ■ The 2001 Bush tax cut ■ The temporary U.S. budget surplus New and Revised Case Studies, including: ■ The Secrets to Happiness [showing how people’s reported life satisfaction is tied to inflation and unemployment] ■ Information Technology and the New Economy ■ Cutting Taxes to Stimulate the Economy ■ The Remarkable Stability of the 1990s ■ The Fiscal Future: Good News and Bad News ■ Case Study on Credit Crunches New and Revised FYI Boxes, including: ■ International Flows of Goods and Capital: An Example ■ The Liquidity Trap ■ How Precise Are Estimates of the Natural Rate of Unemployment? New Internet-based problems, within the end-of-chapter problem sets which require students to do online research
Professor Mankiw is a prolific writer and a regular participant in academic and policy debates. His research ranges across many fields within economics and includes work on price adjustment, consumer behaviour, financial markets, monetary and fiscal policy, and economic growth. In addition to his duties at Harvard, he is a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a member of the Brookings Panel on Economic Activity, and an adviser to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and the Congressional Budget Office.

Case Studies Economics comes to life when applied to actual events. The numerous case studies in this book [many new or revised] occur frequently so students don’t have to grapple with an overdose of theory before seeing the theory applied.
2 ■
FYI Boxes [many new or revised for this edition] clarify difficult concepts, provide additional information about the tools of economics, and show how economics relates to our daily lives.
3 ■
Graphs Understanding graphical analysis is a key to learning macroeconomics. The graphs in the Fifth Edition are easy to follow and often include comment boxes on important points. Mathematical Notes make an argument more rigorous or present a proof of a mathematical result. They give instructors flexibility by moving the more difficult mathematical coverage out of the main body of the text. Chapter Summaries, brief and gives students an opportunity to see material in perspective and prepare for exams. Key Concepts are highlighted in boldface when introduced and listed for review at the end of the chapter.
4 ■
Questions for Review let students test their understanding of the chapter’s basic lessons.
5 ■
Problems and Applications Some of these problems are numerical applications of the theory. Others encourage the student to go beyond this material in the chapter by addressing new issues that are closely related to the chapter topics. Specific new problems require students to do online research.
6 ■
Chapter Appendixes Several chapters include appendixes that offer additional material, sometimes at a higher level of mathematical sophistication. These are designed so that professors can cover certain topics in greater depth if they wish. The appendixes can be skipped altogether without loss of continuity. Glossary of more that 250 terms helps students become familiar with the language of macroeconomics.
