Description

International Economics, Third Edition, offers a flexible approach to the survey of international economics, with the goal of making economic reasoning accessible to a diverse group of students.

Built on a theoretical framework emphasizing the central concepts, the book uses a rich array of cases to illuminate economic institutions and policies as well as recent developments in the global economy. International Economics continues to receive accolades from a wide range of instructors, who praise it as mainstream, up-to-date, and easily comprehensible.


Features

  • Companion Web site includes timely and useful Web links and a complete PowerPoint lecture presentation.
