International Macroeconomics

by Robert C. Feenstra

Developed in the classroom by two of the most prominent researchers in the field, Feenstra and Taylor’s International Economics uses engaging applications to provide a modern view of the global economy for a modern audience. Most international economics textbooks emphasize theory and the economies of advanced countries. Feenstra and Taylor combine theoretical coverage with empirical evidence throughout, while reflecting the realities of the global economy by covering emerging markets and developing countries (India, China, Southeast Asia).


The new edition has been thoroughly updated to include new data and Applications, as well as many new Headlines to reflect the rapid changes in international economics during the last three years. The 4th Edition includes the latest on opening relations with Cuba, immigration and Europe’s refugee crisis, the effect of NAFTA on wages and employment, job polarization, quicksourcing, China’s problems, and the debate in Britain about leaving the European Union.

Reviews

[Christopher Watterson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Provides a good overview of the IS-LM-FX model, while also being a suitable primer for fundamental international macro concepts.

[Rizwan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I initially did not think it was as good.
But it picked up from there. It approaches the topics from a broader perspective and it was pretty good at dealing with both the theory and practical applications and and real world problems and situations.

[Megan Fulmes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well written with good examples. Much more concise and to the point with explanations of some key topics (ex. Fisher Effect) than other economics textbooks that I have used.

This is a pretty good textbook, if only my professor taught better.
