The current macroeconomic crisis has underscored the urgent need for a more profound comprehension of the significance of relevant macroeconomic theories and methodologies. Furthermore, the absence of methodological awareness plays a significant role in the internal disagreements within macroeconomics, which, from an external perspective, may appear perplexing.

The Handbook serves as a comprehensive guide that presents the study of principles and procedures employed in the research, teaching, and communication of macroeconomics within academia and to a broader audience. It delves into the rationale behind the selection of specific theories, research strategies, and teaching approaches, emphasizing the core principles of selecting theory that is relevant to real-world problems.

Within this book, a diverse range of arguments and considerations are presented regarding the construction and appraisal of theories, as well as the implications of these choices within the field of macroeconomics. An international panel of experts contributes clear and insightful analysis of key concepts, ideas, and principles, aimed at enhancing the understanding of macroeconomics among academics, students, and other interested individuals.

By providing a comprehensive and accessible resource, the Handbook aims to equip readers with a deeper grasp of the macroeconomic theories and methodologies that underpin policy conclusions at various levels. It serves as a valuable tool for scholars, educators, policymakers, and anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics and challenges of the global economy.
