Economics textbook recommendations

# Undergraduate level

## Introductory books

The intro market is vast, but the intro texts themselves are largely
interchangeable. Pick one of

* Mankiw, Principles of Economics
* Cowen and Tabarrok, Modern Principles of Economics
* Acemoglu, Laibson, List, Economics
* Krugman and Wells, Economics

## Intermediate Economics

* Varian, Intermediate Microeconomics
* Abel and Bernanke, Macroeconomics

## Microeconomics topics

* Pepall, Industrial Organization
* Perman et al, Natural Resource and Environmental Economics
* Stiglitz, The Economics of the Public Sector
* ?? Labor book
* ?? health economics book

## Macroeconomics topics

* Williamson, Macroeconomics
* Mishkin, The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets
* Champ, Freeman, and Haslag, Modeling Monetary Economies
* McCandless with Wallace, Introduction to Dynamic Macro Theory
* Weil, Economic Growth

## Econometrics

* Wooldridge, Introductory Econometrics
* Angrist and Pischke, Mastering Metrics


# Graduate level

Two useful transition books are

* Varian, Microeconomic Analysis
* Romer, Advanced Macroeconomics

These are nice for people who "know math and want to skip all the intro books."

I may write up a grad textbook list, but for now,
to avoid duplication of effort, just see the
[EconPhD.net list](http://econphd.econwiki.com/books.htm)
