A new edition of the leading text in monetary economics, a comprehensive treatment revised and enhanced with new material reflecting recent advances in the field.This text presents a comprehensive treatment of the most important topics in monetary economics, focusing on the primary models monetary economists have employed to address topics in theory and policy. It covers the basic theoretical approaches, shows how to do simulation work with the models, and discusses the full range of frictions that economists have studied to understand the impacts of monetary policy. Among the topics presented are money-in-the-utility function, cash-in-advance, and search models of money; informational, portfolio, and nominal rigidities; credit frictions; the open economy; and issues of monetary policy, including discretion and commitment, policy analysis in new Keynesian models, and monetary operating procedures. The use of models based on dynamic optimization and nominal rigidities in consistent general equilibrium frameworks, relatively new when introduced to students in the first edition of this popular text, has since become the method of choice of monetary policy analysis.This third edition reflects the latest advances in the field, incorporating new or expanded material on such topics as monetary search equilibria, sticky information, adaptive learning, state-contingent pricing models, and channel systems for implementing monetary policy. Much of the material on policy analysis has been reorganized to reflect the dominance of the new Keynesian approach. Monetary Theory and Policy continues to be the only comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of monetary economics, not only the leading text in the field but also the standard reference for academics and central bank researchers.

Edición revisada, ampliada y actualizada del clásico de Joseph E. Stiglitz y Carl E. Walsh. La primera edición fue pionera en la divulgación de importantes temas relacionados con la economía de los mercados con informacion asimetrica, textos que hoy son de referencia. Sin embargo, es en esta cuarta edicion cuando se entra en profundidad en estas cuestiones con capitulos especificos sobre la informacion asimetrica en los mercados de produccion, las asimetrias de los mercados laborales, el cambio tecnologico, las externalidades medioambientales y el comportamiento estrategico. Es el texto mas actual y preciso sobre los principios de la microeconomia, en el que se combina la experiencia investigadora sobre mercados imperfectos del Nobel Joseph E. Stiglitz y los conocimientos sobre economia monetaria de su coautor Carl E. Walsh.
