Description

Renowned for its precise, in-depth coverage of international trade and finance, this classic text features a balance of the latest research, critical policy issues, and sophisticated economic analysis. The authors integrate the empirical studies thoroughly, giving students a richer understanding of how the existing economic models relate to the real world.


Features

  • Clear, analytical writing that patiently introduces students to economic theory, and then applies the theory to the latest policy issues and empirical research.
  • Greater emphasis on microeconomic analysis of macroeconomic topics, such as outsourcing, and the effects of the immigration and emigration on labor.
  • Supplementary chapters at the end of the book that offer extensions of the major economic models and theories, allowing professors the option of going into more depth.
  • Developing countries discussed regularly throughout the text, rather than in a single isolated chapter, so that they are integrated within the relevant theoretical and policy discussions.


New To This Edition

  • New Chapter 7, Imperfect Competition, Increasing Returns, and Product Variety, which combines new content with select topics from chapters 2 and 3 of the previous edition.
  • Reorganization of chapters 8 and 9, that provides a focused discussion of the latest work in resource trade, outsourcing, and product fragmentation (chapter 8) and international movement of capital and labor (chapter 9).
  • Updated coverage of trade and development, that includes the consequences of NAFTA, and trade and development in China.
  • Expanded end-of-chapter problems.
