Overview

Real-World Economic Policy: Insights from Leading Australian Economists bridges the gap between academic research, economic policy and undergraduate students by exploring economic concepts used by academics, central bankers and policy makers to develop actual policy.

The 14 discussions in this text expand the coverage of core economic concepts into practical application. The discussions have been developed from a set of video interviews with prominent economists in Australia and a selection of international thinkers filmed during visits to Australia.

This includes four former central bank Governors/Board members, an ACCC Commissioner, and a current member of the federal parliament and shadow minister. The interviews can be seen at www.youtube.com/user/JanLibich1.Macroeconomics Case Studies bridges the gap between academic research, economic policy and undergraduate students by exploring economic concepts used by academics, central bankers and policy makers to develop actual policy.
