"Macroeconomics tries to describe and explain the economywide movement of prices, output, and unemployment. The field has been sharply divided among various schools, including Keynesian, monetarist, new classical, and others. It has also been split between theorists and empiricists. Ray Fair is a resolute empiricist, developing and refining methods for testing theories and models. The field cannot advance without the discipline of testing how well the models approximate the data. Using a multicountry econometric model, he examines several important questions, including what causes inflation, h

Chapter 1 reviews the standard neoclassical approach to macroeconomics. Chapter 2 extends it to EMSs with strategic interactions and endogenous entry of firms. Chapter 3 introduces EMSs in a model of the business cycle, shows that they allow us to outperform RBC models in explaining the cyclical variability of US data, and studies fiscal and monetary policy.

The contributors draw on the experience of the developing and industrialized worlds and on countries in Asia, North America, and Europe. They of
