Lecture Investments (8th edition): Chapter 17 - Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, Alan J. Marcus

Chapter 17 - Macroeconomic and industry analysis. This chapter treats the broad-based aspects of fundamental analysis - macroeconomic and industry analysis. The two chapters following cover firm-specific analysis. We begin with a discussion of international factors relevant to firm performance, and move on to an overview of the significance of the key variables usually used to summarize the state of the macroeconomy. We then discuss government macroeconomic policy.
