Theories of consumption, investment and production are
integrated into a general equilibrium 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.
