Things in Abel and Bernanke's Macroeconomics that I think are... less well done...
- figure 1-3 uses Lebergott unemployment rates
- table 3-1 uses a capital stock series that is too low
- too little on "growth facts"
- the figure in box 8-1 uses GDP when it should use TFP
- LM curve--no mention of central bank behavior
- IS curve--no mention of central bank behavior
- figure 13.2--doesn't scale net exports to GDP or trade...
