These new volumes supplement and bring up to date the original Handbook of Monetary
Economics (Volumes I and II of this series), edited by Benjamin Friedman with Frank
Hahn. It is now twenty years since the publication of those earlier volumes, so a reconsideration
of the field is timely if not overdue. Some of the topics covered in the previous
volumes of Handbook of Monetary Economics were updated in the Handbook of
Macroeconomics, edited by Michael Woodford with John Taylor, but it is now ten years
since the publication of those volumes as well. Further, that publication, with its
broader focus on macroeconomics, could not fully substitute for a new edition of the
Handbook of Monetary Economics. The subject here is macroeconomics, to be sure, but
it is monetary macroeconomics.以上是货币经济学手册第三卷的前沿部分,供参考!
