This is the 2007 annual update to the PowerPoints for the 6th edition of Mankiw’s Macroeconomics. The purpose of the annual updates is to update the data to the most recent available, and correct any typos reported by users or found by myself. If you find an error or have a suggestion, please email me at roncron@unlv.nevada.edu. I will fix any errors and incorporate the best user suggestions in the 2008 update, or in the next major revision of these slides (which will coincide with the next edition of the textbook, probably coming in 2009). To help you get the most from these slides, I have prepared a README file with User Instructions, and I have annotated many individual slides with notes – visible only to you – that appear in this area of your screen.
