Macroeconomics for Emerging East Asia presents a distinctive approach to the study of macroeconomic theory and policy. The author develops a unique analytical framework that incorporates: (1) both internal and external balance as aspects of macroeconomic stability; (2) both the exchange rate and the interest rate as monetary policy instruments, (3) government debt sustainability as a concern of fiscal policy, and (4) global capital flows as a force to be reckoned with. The framework provides students with the foundational knowledge to analyze macroeconomic issues common to emerging economies. Concepts are illustrated using the latest empirical data and extensive case study analysis for thirteen economies of Northeast and Southeast Asia (Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam). The book's lucid exposition accommodates students of differing levels of preparation.

'Calla Wiemer has written a highly readable, accessible, and analytically rigorous volume that will be of great value to scholars and policymakers both in East Asia and for anybody with an interest in this fascinating, diverse, and dynamic region. Macroeconomics for Emerging East Asia is grounded in mainstream macroeconomic theory and practice. But the author is rightly at pains to emphasize that the standard US macro textbooks are generally written with the implicit assumption that economies enjoy the 'exorbitant privilege' of possessing an internationally accepted reserve currency, and that this framework needs to be modified for the East Asian economies. An attractive feature of the volume is its application to real-world policy issues and challenges. These range from the misleading allegation, frequently directed at China and some other East Asian economies, of 'currency manipulation', to the origins and management of recent economic crises such as those of 1997–98, 2008–9, and the current pandemic. Highly recommended.' Hal Hill, H. W. Arndt Professor Emeritus of Southeast Asian Economies, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University
