International Economics / Edition 8

by Dennis R Appleyard, Alfred J Field, Cobb

Overview

Writing for students in upper-level economics courses, Appleyard (Davidson College), Field (University of North Carolina), and Cobb (University of North Texas) follow the traditional division into trade and monetary aspects. The text covers classical, neo-classical and Post-Heckscher-Ohlin theories of trade as well as international monetary economics, macroeconomic policy, and issues in world monetary arrangements. In this fifth edition, the authors have expanded the discussion of transitional economies, outsourcing, and the European Union and now offer opening vignettes and case studies.
