The Principles of Macroeconomics at the Millennium
通过分析教材内容，探讨千禧年宏观经济学原理课程是否反映了当代宏观经济学知识体系，对经济学教育者和教材编写者有参考价值。
What is the body of knowledge that we call macroeconomics at which the Principles course is a first look? Does today's Principles course provide the student with an introductory glimpse at macroeconomics, as it exists today? These are the questions that this paper addresses. To provide focus, I restrict my attention to a narrow part of the literature: the textbooks. Although textbooks reflect the views of their authors, they also represent an attempt on the part of authors and publishers to distill the views of the profession. Users, potential users, and hoped-for users review textbooks, and they are revised extensively to match perceptions of the delicate mix of market demand and author judgment. Therefore, I claim that the textbook database provides a valid source for addressing my questions. I begin by looking at the content of today's advanced macro course.
