Über diesen Titel

Críticas

'The authors present an innovative mix of theory, stylized facts, application of the theory to current and historical examples, and discussion of recent empirical research. No other textbook has this mix that I find tremendously appealing.' -Maria Muniagurria, University of Wisconsin, USA

'The addition of the gains from financial globalization is quite attractive, as are the chapters covering the winners and losers from trade and outsourcing. These three chapters make this book very topical and I think particularly interesting to students.' - Diane Flaherty, University of Massachusetts, USA

'The authors have carefully selected several very interesting and relevant case studies which provide an opportunity to motivate and apply the tools explained through the text. It is very difficult to teach students how to think like an economist. It requires time and discipline. But this text makes an important contribution in that direction.' - Ricardo A. Lopez, Indiana University, USA

Reseña del editor

The international economy has seen a great deal of change over recent years, and there is much talk in the media of the impact of emerging markets such as India and China. Giving a new perspective on International Economics in the age of globalisation, this engaging text addresses economics with a whole-world perspective, including developing countries and puts emphasis on empirical study. With its many examples pulled from today's headlines, Feenstra/Taylor will be the ideal book for instructors looking for a fresh, up-to-date approach to international economics.
