Description
A Practical Guide to Macroeconomics by Jeremy B. Rudd provides a unique perspective on the disconnect between academic research and policy economics. It explores how economists at policy institutions approach real-world questions, highlighting the limitations of existing academic work in informing policymaking. The book examines the problems caused by this disconnection and discusses what is needed to make academic research more relevant for policy. It also offers a concise overview of US macroeconomic statistics, helping researchers use these data more effectively. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, Rudd's guide aims to improve the relevance of economic research for policymakers and the broader economics profession.
