Recenzje

'Unravelling the complexities of consumers' expectations is a perennial challenge for economists. Richard Curtin's Consumer Expectations provides fresh perspectives solidly grounded on real evidence from Michigan's influential consumer sentiment surveys. It will be an invaluable guide for anyone interested in how uncertainty and complexity play out in modern macroeconomies.'
