Lecture Notes3a PDF

The document introduces a book on macroeconomics that was originally drafted by the author for their students at Harvard Business School. It has since been adopted as required reading in many of their programs. The book takes a different approach than standard macroeconomics textbooks by focusing on three pillars: output, money, and expectations. It is meant to provide a broad understanding of macroeconomics in a compact form, with additional optional chapters providing more detail on key topics like monetary policy, macroeconomic accounting, and exchange rates.
