Does anybody know a good, intermediate text-book on macro-economics?

At Odense university we have been using Dornbusch & Fischer: =
Macroeconomics and Burda & Wyplosz: Macroeconomics - a European text.

What I am looking for is a book that is not to technical, but yet does =
not leave out mathematics when needed.

The major flaw of these books are probably that they are essentially =
"New Keynesian" and tend to assume our difficulties away. Still, I know =
that a majority of the professors and lecturers prefer these texts at =
the university and are unlikely to listen an instructor. So basically, I =
am looking for something with a New Keynesian flavour.

A problem with the Dornbusch and Fischer textbook is that its main focus =
is the closed economy. Burda and Wyplosz focuses on the open economy, =
but does not use enough simple algebra as is done in the Dornbusch and =
Fischer book.

So, if anybody knows about a good "New Keynesian/Monetarist" text book =
that focuses on the open economy, I would like to know and would indeed =
be very grateful!

Regards

Peter Sandholt Jensen
