The theory of general equilibrium offers a simplified guide to how real economies function: describing how production, prices, demand and consumer preference interact in multiple markets and tend towards a state of equilibrium. Written by one of the key pioneers in the field, this text offers an accessible introduction to general equilibrium theory and some of its most important developments of the past fifty years, including the sunspot model, the overlapping generations model and the model with financial assets.

The study of development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before. Yet until now there has been no comprehensive text that incorporates the huge strides made in the
subject over the past decade. Development
Economics does precisely that in a clear, rigorous, and elegant fashion.

In addition to econometric essentials, Mostly Harmless Econometrics covers important new extensions -regression - discontinuity designs and quantile regression - as well as how to get standard errors right. Joshua Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke explain why fancier econometric techniques are typically unnecessary and even dangerous. The applied econometric methods emphasised in this text are easy to use and relevant for many areas of contemporary social science.

Applied econometrics encompasses the statistical methods economists use to untangle cause and effect in human affairs. Through accessible discussion (and with a dose of kung fu-themed humour), Mastering 'Metricspresents the essential tools of econometric research and demonstrates why econometrics is exciting and useful. The text covers the five most valuable econometric methods: random assignment; regression; instrumental variables; regression discontinuity designs; and differences in differences.

Lucid, accessible, and provocative, and now thoroughly updated to cover recent events that have shaken the global economy, Globalizing Capital is an indispensable account of the past 150 years of international monetary and financial history - from the classical gold standard to today's post-Bretton Woods "nonsystem."
Globalizing Capital: A History of the International Monetary System 3ed
Thomas PikettyPbk | 816pp | 9780674979857 | 1/08/2017A$44.99 | NZ$54.99 | Belknap Press
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty analyses a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns.

Ian McLeanPbk | 312pp | 9780691171333 | 1/06/2016A$51.99 | NZ$61 | Princeton University Press
How did Australia attain the world's highest living standards within a few decades of European settlement? And how has the nation sustained an enviable level of income to the present? Ian McLean reveals the striking elements of continuity that have underpinned the evolution of the country's economy since the nineteenth century. Why Australia Prospered is a fascinating historical examination of how Australia cultivated and sustained economic growth and success.
Why Australia Prospered: The Shifting Sources of Economic Growth
Carmen M Reinhart and Kenneth S RogoffPbk | 512pp | 9780691152646 | 7/07/2011A$38.99 | NZ$47.99 | Princeton University Press
Using clear, sharp analysis and comprehensive data, Reinhart and Rogoff document that financial fallouts occur in clusters and strike with surprisingly consistent frequency, duration, and ferocity. They examine the patterns of currency crashes, high and hyperinflation, and government defaults on international and domestic debts - as well as the cycles in housing and equity prices, capital flows, unemployment, and government revenues around these crises. While countries do weather their financial storms, Reinhart and Rogoff prove that short memories make it all too easy for crises to recur.

Two-lesson economics means giving up the dogmatism of laissez-faire as well as the reflexive assumption that any economic problem can be solved by government action, since the right answer often involves a mixture of market forces and government policy. But the payoff is huge: understanding how markets actually work - and what to do when they don't. Brilliantly accessible, Economics in Two Lessons unlocks the essential issues at the heart of any economic question.
Economics in Two Lessons: Why Markets Work So Well, and Why They Can Fail So Badly
Robert L. SextonPbk | 944pp | 9781544371849 | 14/04/2019A$268 | NZ$315 | SAGE Publications, Inc
The eighth edition of Exploring Economics captures the excitement of learning economics for the first time through a lively and encouraging narrative that connects economics to the world in a way that is familiar to students. Author Robert L.

The "gig economy" is a relatively recent term coined to describe a range of working arrangements that have previously been denoted as precarious, flexible and contingent. Borrowed from musicians, a “gig” describes a one-night performance, but in the context of general employment, it covers the self-employed who work for hire, those on temporary, short-term contracts and on zero-hours contracts. In this concise overview, Alex de Ruyter and Martyn Brown explain the key facets of the gig economy and explore the dangers and potential it affords.

The “informal ” economy - economic activity and income outside government regulation, taxation, and observation - is, by its very nature, difficult to quantify. Colin C. Williams provides an authoritative introduction to the topic, explaining what the informal economy is (and what it isn't) and how it can best be measured.

While economic research emphasises the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency.

With the collapse of communism in 1990, the world entered a new phase of globalisation, arguably an intensification of economic processes that trace their beginnings back to the mid-1800s. Characterised by the rise of multinational corporations, global entrepreneurs and a deregulated financial industry, the new global economy has become increasingly interconnected and complex as far as the relations among its economic and political actors are concerned.

The Japanese economy was once considered a “miracle”. Although still the world’s third largest economy, it continues to feel the effects of the collapse of a massive asset price bubble in the early 1990s. Further setbacks, including both the Asian and global financial crises, and the Fukushima earthquake, have added to the economy’s difficulties. The author examines the ups and downs of Japan’s postwar economic history to offer an up-to-date and authoritative guide to the workings of Japan’s economy.

This textbook presents the basic tools for analysing macroeconomic fluctuations and policies and applies them to contemporary issues. It employs a unified New Keynesian framework for understanding business cycles, major crises, and macroeconomic policies, introducing students to the approach most often used in academic macroeconomic analysis and by central banks and international institutions.
Macroeconomic Fluctuations and Policies
Alan J Auerbach and Laurence J KotlikoffPbk | 494pp | 9780262511032 | A$122 | NZ$144 | The MIT Press
Many undergraduate texts treat macroeconomics as a set of distinct topics rather than as a unified body of theory and empirical findings. In contrast, this text by Alan Auerbach and Laurence Kotlikoff uses a single analytic framework - the two-period life-cycle model - to explore and connect each of the major issues in contemporary macroeconomics. The model describes the evolution of the economy over time in terms of the behaviour of overlapping generations of individuals, each of whom lives for two periods: youth and old age.
