Required text
There is no required text. However, I recommend that students considering having macro as a field acquire
Ljungqvist, Lars and Thomas J. Sargent. Recursive Macroeconomic Theory, 2nd. ed. MIT Press, 2004. Amazon link (cheaper than MIT Press)
Stokey, Nancy L. and Robert E. Lucas Jr., with Edward C. Prescott. Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1989. Amazon link (cheaper than Harvard Press)
A few chapters from these books will be on the syllabus.

Useful background reading for before the fall
Background for macro: Barro, Robert J. Macroeconomics, 5th ed. MIT Press, 1997.
Background for basic time series econometrics: my graduate econometrics notes, 1994.
