'This much enriched edition of Peter Montiel's book provides a
clear and thorough introduction to the macroeconomic issues that
developing countries and emerging markets in general face in a
globalized world. Students and economists in policy circles will
find the core short-run macroeconomic model that it uses with so
much versatility to be of invaluable help in understanding the
fundamental nature of these issues and in thinking about how to
respond to them.' Pierre-Richard Agénor, University of
Manchester
'A book that should remain on the desk of any economist working on
emerging markets. A rigorous journey from first principles all the
way to current issues, be it the effects of the crisis on
emerging-market countries or the potential role of capital controls
in responding to capital inflows. If you are new to the topic, read
the book from beginning to end. If you think you know it all, still
look and read the relevant chapters: you will learn.' Olivier J.
Blanchard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the
International Monetary Fund
'Remarkably, the second edition is even better than the first. It
finds just the right balance between theory, policy analysis, and
empirical applications. The exposition remains crisp and lucid,
while the addition of new material on fiscal institutions, the role
of banks in the monetary transmission mechanism, inflation
targeting, emerging-market financial crises, and policy responses
to the Great Recession makes the text more rigorous and
comprehensive.' Edward F. Buffie, Indiana University
'Peter Montiel has long set the highest standard for lucid
textbooks on the macroeconomics of developing countries. Now in
this new edition of his superb classic Macroeconomics in Emerging
Markets, he has surpassed even himself. He uniquely fills the gap
between rich-country-obsessed macro- and micro-obsessed
developing-country analysis. No student of the macroeconomics of
development will henceforward be able to do without this book.'
William Easterly, New York University
'This book is a timely and authoritative survey of theory and
evidence on macroeconomic policies in emerging-market economies.
Peter Montiel knows this material from all angles - as a
researcher, master teacher, and practitioner. This is an
indispensable resource for development economists working in the
field, as well as for graduate students or advanced undergraduates
working on open economy macroeconomics in developing countries.'
Steven A. O'Connell, Swarthmore College
'Peter Montiel's Macroeconomics in Emerging Markets brings to life
with clear analysis and real-life examples many of the
macroeconomic policy challenges faced by emerging markets. The
topics covered range from the design of monetary policy to curb
stubborn inflation to the timeless policy dilemmas that coping with
volatile international capital flows and commodity prices pose for
these countries. A must-read for those seeking to understand and
teach students how most of the world lives.' Carmen M. Reinhart,
Peterson Institute for International Economics
'[Recommend] to both students and to lecturers aiming at 'freshing
up' their lectures by making them more relevant. For the latter,
this is a great place to start.' The Times Higher Education
