This book is concerned with recent developments in time series and panel data techniques for the analysis of macroeconomic and financial data. It provides a rigorous, nevertheless user-friendly, account of the time series techniques dealing with univariate and multivariate time series models, as well as panel data models. It is distinct from other time series texts in the sense that it also covers panel data models and attempts at a more coherent integration of time series, multivariate analysis, and panel data models. It builds on the author's extensive research in the areas of time series and panel data analysis and covers a wide variety of topics in one volume. Different parts of the book can be used as teaching material for a variety of courses in econometrics. It can also be used as reference manual.It begins with an overview of basic econometric and statistical techniques, and provides an account of stochastic processes, univariate and multivariate time series, tests for unit roots, cointegration, impulse response analysis, autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity models, simultaneous equation models, vector autoregressions, causality, forecasting, multivariate volatility models, panel data models, aggregation and global vector autoregressive models (GVAR). The techniques are illustrated using Microfit 5 (Pesaran and Pesaran, 2009, OUP) with applications to real output, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, and stock prices

Mainstream textbooks present economics as an objective science free from value judgements This book demonstrates this to be a myth one which serves to make such textbooks not only off puttingly bland but also dangerously misleading in their justification of the status quo and neglect of alternatives In this much needed companion volume to the popular Microeconomics Anti Textbook Tony Myatt reveals how the blind spots and methodological problems present in microeconomics continue to exert their influence in mainstream macroeconomics From a flawed conception of the labour market to a Pollyana view of the financial sector macroeconomic principles as they are set out in conventional undergraduate textbooks consistently fail to set out a realistic useful or equitable framework for understanding the world By summarising and then critically evaluating the major topics found in a typical macroeconomics textbook the Anti Textbook lays bare their sins of omission and commission showing where hidden value judgements are made and when contrary evidence and alternative theories are ignored The Macroeconomics Anti Textbook is the student s essential guide to decoding mainstream macroeconomic textbooks and demonstrating how real world economics are much more interesti

The old discussion of ''Market or State'' is obsolete. There will always have to be a mix of market and state. The only relevant question is what that mix should look like. How far do we have to let the market go its own way in order to create as much welfare as possible for everyone? What is the responsibility of the government in creating welfare? These are difficult questions. But they are also interesting questions and Paul De Grauwe analyses them in this book.The desired mix of market and state is anything but easy to bring about. It is a difficult and sometimes destructive process that is constantly in motion. There are periods in history in which the market gains in importance. During other periods the opposite occurs and government is more dominant. The turning points in this pendulum swing typically seem to coincide with disruptive events that test the limits of market and state. Why we experience this dynamic is an important theme in the book.

The world is a better place than it used to be. People are healthier, wealthier, and live longer. Yet the escapes from destitution by so many has left gaping inequalities between people and nations. In The Great Escape, Angus Deaton--one of the foremost experts on economic development and on poverty--tells the remarkable story of how, beginning 250 years ago, some parts of the world experienced sustained progress, opening up gaps and setting the stage for today's disproportionately unequal world. Deaton takes an in-depth look at the historical and ongoing patterns behind the health and wealth of nations, and addresses what needs to be done to help those left behind. Deaton describes vast innovations and wrenching setbacks: the successes of antibiotics, pest control, vaccinations, and clean water on the one hand, and disastrous famines and the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the other. He examines the United States, a nation that has prospered but is today experiencing slower growth and increasing inequality. He also considers how economic growth in India and China has improved the lives of more than a billion people. Deaton argues that international aid has been ineffective and even harmful. He suggests alternative efforts--including reforming incentives to drug companies and lifting trade restrictions--that will allow the developing world to bring about its own Great Escape. Demonstrating how changes in health and living standards have transformed our lives, The Great Escape is a powerful guide to addressing the well-being of all nations.

This book provides an up-to-date synthesis of the many standards of distributional analysis used in the fields of social policy, welfare theory, and public finance. Using only basic constructions of calculus, probability, and the economics of consumer behavior, it develops a consistent mathematical approach into a self-contained and unified treatment of the distribution and redistribution of income.

El análisis económico que se realiza en este libro sólo busca arrojar algo de luz a un problema que al final no persigue conocer otra cosa que el comportamiento del hombre en la búsqueda de la verdad. Se hace a través de las principales teorías económicas.

Las economías europeas, a diferencia de la estadounidense, se caracterizan en general por una menor flexibilidad y una mayor importancia de los aspectos institucionales. Por lo que respecta al mercado de trabajo, se han elaborado en Europa modelos de inspiracion keynesiana basados en la interaccion de dos grupos de agentes con poder de mercado: trabajadores que determinan los salarios y empresarios que determinan los precios; lo que describiria mas adecuadamente el comportamiento de las economias europeas. El modelo desarrollado en este libro se basara, precisamente, en este tipo de consideraciones, con el fin de entender mejor nuestra realidad europea. Al mismo tiempo, el libro proporciona las herramientas basicas para entender como se lleva a cabo el analisis macroeconomico y se evaluan las politicas economicas. Al presentar, bajo un hilo conductor comun, los temas principales de un curso de macroeconomia intermedia, este libro es heredero del espiritu del Curso de Macroeconomia, de Oscar Bajo y M.ª Antonia Mones, publicado en esta misma editorial.
