This book presents an advanced treatment of the major topics of monetary economics. It is designed for use in a graduate course in monetary
economics, but it can also be used in graduate macro courses and the chapters on monetary
policy topics should be accessible to advanced undergraduates.
The fourth edition incorporates new or expanded material on labor markets in the new Keynesian model, open economy new Keynesian models, and and entire chapter on the effective
lower bound on nominal interest rates and balance sheet policies.
Solutions to the exercises:
Solutions to the problems in the fourth edition book -- coming soon
to instructors. The MIT Press site
has links for ordering an examination copy or for requesting the solutions manual.
