A Review of Two Macroeconomics Textbooks

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The selection of appropriate textbooks plays a crucial role in shaping the quality of teaching and learning in economics. This study evaluates Macroeconomics by Dr. Rahmani and Macroeconomics by Branson, which are widely used in undergraduate and graduate programs in Iranian higher education. The analysis focuses on two main dimensions: (1) the analytical framework adopted, and (2) the extent to which the textbooks reflect current developments in the field. Both texts primarily rely on the traditional structure of macroeconomics instruction, grounded in the neoclassical–Keynesian synthesis. To assess analytical rigor and up-to-dateness, Dr. Rahmani’s Macroeconomics is compared with Blanchard’s Macroeconomics, which is recognized internationally as a standard text based on the neoclassical–Keynesian synthesis. Similarly, Branson’s Macroeconomics is evaluated against Romer’s Macroeconomics, a standard reference for advanced macroeconomics. The comparison highlights areas where the Iranian textbooks fail to incorporate more recent theoretical and empirical developments, and the missing concepts are explicitly identified.
