Readings in macroeconomics

Fifteen papers, published over the last decade in the Oxford Review of Economic Policy, several updated and revised, explore a variety of topics in macroeconomics. Papers discuss the role of fiscal policy in the 1990s; options for U.K. fiscal policy; monetary and exchange-rate policy in Britain and Europe; floating exchange rates in theory and practice; the case for stabilizing exchange rates; balance of payments and international economic integration; consumer expenditure; inflation policy; inflation and the U.K. labor market; wage determination and the changing role of institutions in advanced industrialized countries; explanations of unemployment; new approaches to economic growth; an international perspective on the macroeconomics of growth; productivity and competitiveness; and whether relative economic decline reversed itself under the Thatcher regime.
