2nd edition Henk Jager, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Catrinus Jepma, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Worth Publishers – A Macmillan Higher Education Company
Combining classic international economics with straight from the headlines immediacy, Feenstra and Taylor’s text seemlessly integrates the subject’s established core content with topic areas and ideas that have emerged from recent empirical studies.
‘An increasing number of business people are confronted with aspects of international economics, such as exchange rate movements, capital flows, the functioning of the European Economic and Monetary Union, and trade flows. This book provides the much-needed non-technical introduction into the field.’ - Eelke de Jong, Professor of International Economics, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands
This fully revised and updated second edition offers a comprehensive approach to the methods of international trade analysis. By focusing on the application of theory, the book illustrates the ideas while identifying the implications and weaknesses of the various theories and models found through empirical implementation.
