Studies in medium-run macroeconomics : growth, fluctuations, unemployment, inequality and policies

"This unique volume consists of studies on medium-run macroeconomics that deal with aggregate economic issues that do not easily fit into either short-run business cycles or long-term growth. This research area has emerged over last decade as a new and distinct field, and needs further explorations. The book includes theoretical as well as empirical studies that cover topics related to medium-run phenomena, such as 'growth and fluctuations', 'wages and unemployment', 'financial instabilities', ' firm size distributions and unbalanced growth', 'income inequality', etc.. Every chapter includes new approach or new findings and will be invaluable to developments in this emerging area of research."-- Provided by publisher La 4e de couv. indique : "This unique volume consists of studies on medium-run macroeconomics that deal with aggregate economic issues that do not easily fit into either short-run business cycles or long-term growth.
