Another questi...Thanks for the recommendations. :)<br /><br />Another question I had (and maybe you've already posted about this): Do you have any advice for econ students? I mean, outside of the usual study hard, take as many math courses as possible, etc. ;) Generic question, I know, I know...Rianhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhEJA-n9Xvwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-20066092709061200652011-09-13T15:59:34.427-04:002011-09-13T15:59:34.427-04:00Ya - but it's nice to have easy things to post...Ya - but it's nice to have easy things to post (I feel like I've got to every morning). If this doesn't get feedback I will.<br /><br />I used Williamson for intermediate macro and liked it a lot. I used Romer for grad macro. That was hard to get the hand of - but I think that's just because grad macro is different from intermediate. That one (Romer) has come to be my favorite econ textbook for any class.<br /><br />For intermediate micro our professor was in the process of writing a textbook so we got printoffs of his draft. I liked it a lot (at least in the form he gave us!). The professor was Donald Campbell - I believe the book was called "Incentives". You can google that.<br /><br />For grad school I've used Varian at both GWU and AU. I like it a lot. It is very efficient in presentation, though. That's nice when you already have some understanding of the material, but can be hard if you don't. There are two Varian texts - they're called "baby Varian" and I guess "big Varian" is the nickname for the grad text I use. I've never used baby Varian but apparently it's of the same very high quality - that would serve better as an intermediate text, I'm guessing.Daniel Kuehnhttp://www.factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-4062632773742200442011-09-13T15:51:12.352-04:002011-09-13T15:51:12.352-04:00I'll beat you to the punch!

I've already completed the introductory micro and macro courses, so I'm looking for something a step above."<br /><br />My micro theory class starts in two weeks. We'll be using Microeconomics by Pindyck, et al. I like the looks of it from the skimming I've done so far. I also bought Landsburg's Price Theory and Applications just for the heck of it. (Found a copy for 3 bucks and I'm always happy to have more econ books.)Rianhttp://www.nintendo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-45352297146830771102011-09-13T15:37:27.039-04:002011-09-13T15:37:27.039-04:00Nice -

Your blog has really opened my eyes to a whole 'nother world of economics. Unfortunately, I used to buy the consumption-centric view of Keynesian economics hook, line, and sinker. Your posts have helped bring me into reality. I just wanted to thank you for that.<br /><br />On a different note, I tried to e-mail you regarding some textbook suggestions. Did you receive my message?Rianhttp://www.google.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-23555398260447682622011-09-13T12:49:03.328-04:002011-09-13T12:49:03.328-04:00I know why:

But the Hayek-Keynes spotlight and the fact that they are beginning to be engaged by real economists has exposed them and they are flailing around wildly.Unlearningeconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687413107325575532noreply@blogger.com
