<p>What is some intermediate or advanced macroeconomics textbook that use general approach, cover major formulas, math intense and focus on general topics similar to Romer's and Branson's Macroeconomics book?</p>

<p>Instead of being use more specific approach like Macroeconomic Theory: A Dynamic General Equilibrium Approach?</p>

<p>Foundations of Modern Macroeconomics by Ben and Lectures on Macroeconomics by Blanchard are both good, what else are out there and how would you compare those two of four i mentioned with your choices in your answer? I know that a graduate economics textbook that teach general topics tend to be easier.</p>

Have you had a look at Dornbusch and Fischer's Macroeconomics? I would say that is a great book for both Introductory and Intermediate Macroeconomics. It emphasises on basic concepts (I used a really old edition but it still worked for me!) does a review after each section, the formulas are crystal-clear (I may be speaking only of myself though and I apologize in advance), brings up mathematical verification only occasionally, and there is nothing that the diagrams do not explain.

In addition, I used Greg Mankiw's Macroeconomics (still do) to run through topics- it covers most concepts and does not intimidate the reader at any point, but it is not so heavy on the math.

I do not have much idea as to what topics are covered under advanced Macroeconomics, but do take a look at these.
