New Edition: International Economics: Global Markets and
Competition (4th Edition)This book integrates the microeconomics of
trade with international finance and open economy macroeconomics.
The emphasis throughout is on international competition and the
limits of trade policy.Economics began with a debate over tariffs.
Domestic industries lobby for protection against foreign
competitors or export subsidies. Government policy makers dole
favors in return for cash and votes. Governments negotiate free
trade agreements but disregard them when possible with tariffs,
export subsidies, and other policies to influence foreign trade and
investment. The forces of international competition, however,
eventually overwhelm government policy.This text presents the
critical issues of international trade and finance. Trade theory
includes partial equilibrium market analysis, neoclassical trade
models, constant cost production, factor proportions production,
and models of industrial organization. The text integrates concepts
from international finance and the basic models of open economy
macroeconomics.The presentation uses graphs with numerical examples
making the theory easier for students, especially when combined
with more general classroom presentation. The text does not assume
previous courses in intermediate economics or calculus but develops
the theory with simple tools. Numerous questions give students
confidence to use the theoretical models and concepts.Over 250
boxed examples illustrate the theory, many with visually
descriptive charts and plots. The text is concise in its
presentation style. Students enjoy its clear straightforward style
and instructors notice the difference on exams. remove The
