Description
Written by a team of experienced writers with contributions from specialist economists, Applied Economics combines up-to-date information with theory to provide an excellent introduction to real-world economics. The book includes chapters on the most important aspects of micro and macro economics, each containing the appropriate theory, but with the main emphasis on application. There are numerous examples, with a focus on Europe in every chapter.
This is an essential text for students on undergraduate courses in economics, business and social science.
