The New Palgrave Economics Collection

Following the publication of the award-winning and much-acclaimed The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, Second Edition, which brings together Nobel Prize winners and the brightest young scholars to survey the discipline, a new series of reference books is now available. Each title in The New Palgrave Economics Collection is composed of articles from the Dictionary and covers a fundamental theme within economics. All of the articles have been specially chosen by the editors of the Dictionary, Steven N. Durlauf and Lawrence E. Blume, and are written by leading practitioners in the field.


Monetary Economics

Monetary economics is one of the most venerable fields of study in all of economics. Nevertheless, the field continues to produce new insights whether one considers deep theoretical questions concerning the integration of money into general equilibrium models or the design of monetary policy rules. The entries in this collection include both classic entries by Milton Friedman and James Tobin as well as a comprehensive overview of contemporaneous perspectives.
