Rosen and then Ben Bernanke. As chairman, Mankiw was part of a George W. Bush administration effort seeking greater oversight of two government-sponsored enterprises: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In a November 2003 speech to a conference of bank supervisors, [41] he said:

Professor Mankiw has written dozens of new end-of-chapter problems that are available only in the digital version of Macroeconomics. Analytic problems ask students to practice shifting the curves in various models and interpreting the results. Numerical problems present models with specific parameter values and ask students to calculate the resulting equilibria. Still other problems incorporate data: They ask students to answer questions about data describing the U.S. economy, which can be easily accessed using Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED).

After college, Mankiw spent a year working on his doctoral degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a subsequent year studying at Harvard Law School. He worked as a staff economist for the Council of Economic Advisers from 1982 to 1983, which he went on to chair two decades later. After leaving the council, he earned his PhD in economics from MIT in 1984 under the supervision of Stanley Fischer. He returned to Harvard Law School for a year, but having completed his PhD and realizing that he was better at economics, [25] he left to teach at MIT for a year, and then became an assistant professor of economics at Harvard University in 1985. He was promoted to professor in 1987, at the age of 29. Samuelson, Robert J. "Opinion | It's time we tear up our economics textbooks and start over". Washington Post. ISSN 0190-8286 .

Controversy also arose from a rhetorical question posed by the report and repeated by Mankiw in a speech about the report: [57] "when a fast-food restaurant sells a hamburger, is it providing a service or combining inputs to manufacture a product?" He intended to point out that the distinction between manufacturing jobs and service industry jobs is somewhat arbitrary and so is a poor basis for policy. Even though the issue was not raised in the report, a news account led to criticism that the administration was seeking to cover up job losses in manufacturing by redefining jobs like cooking hamburgers as manufacturing.

NEW Step-by-Step graphs are integrated into the e-book mirror how an instructor constructs graphs in the classroom. By breaking down the process into its components, these graphs create more manageable “chunks” for students to understand each step of the process. These graphs are also available as lecture slides.

Mankiw is referenced in the 2011 film Elles, which shows an episode in the life of Anne ( Juliette Binoche), a journalist writing an article about female student prostitution. When asked about her classes, one of the students, the Polish immigrant Alicja ( Joanna Kulig), replies that she has been studying the neoliberal economist Greg Mankiw. [82]

Beyond his work in macroeconomics, Mankiw has also written several other notable papers. In 1989, he coauthored a paper with David Weil that examined the demographic determinants of housing demand and predicted that the aging of baby boomers would undermine the housing market in the 1990s and 2000s. [36] In 1986, he coauthored a paper with Michael Whinston in microeconomic theory that showed that under imperfect competition, entry tends to be excessive in homogeneous-goods industries because entrants fail to take into account the business-stealing externality that they impose on their rivals. When goods are heterogeneous, it is ambiguous whether free entry produces too many or too few firms because of offsetting business-stealing and product-variety externalities.
