Theories of consumption, investment and production are
integrated into a model appropriate for analyzing the impact
of government spending, taxation and monetary policies on
unemployment, the pace of inflation and the rate of economic
growth. Consideration is given to a variety of procedures
for forecasting economic change, ranging from leading
indicators to large-scale econometric models.
