International Economics, 13th Edition provides students with a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the field’s essential principles and theory. This comprehensive textbook explains the concepts necessary to understand, evaluate, and address the economic problems and issues the nations of the world are currently facing, and are likely to face in the future. Balancing depth and accessibility, the text helps students identify the real-world relevance of the material through extensive practical applications and examples.

The new, thoroughly-updated and expanded edition provides students with a solid knowledgebase in international trade theory and policy, balance of payments, foreign exchange markets and exchange rates, open-economy macroeconomics, and the international monetary system. The text uniquely employs the same graphical and numerical model in chapters that cover the same basic concept, allowing students to recognize the relationship among the different topics without having to start with a new example each time. Clear, straightforward discussions of each key concept and theory are complemented by concrete, accessible, and relatable examples that serve to strengthen student comprehension and retention. Topics include the ‘Great Recession,’ the increase in trade protectionism, excessive volatility and large misalignments of exchange rates, and the impacts of resource scarcity and climate change to continued growth and sustainable development.

This text presents all of the principles and theories for a thorough understanding of international economics. But it does so on an intuitive level in the text itself while presenting more rigorous proofs requiring intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics in the optional appendices at the end of most chapters. Thus, the book is designed to be useful to students of different academic backgrounds and provide a great deal of flexibility in the study of international economics. To make the concepts and theories presented more accessible and concrete, the same example is followed through in all chapters dealing with the same basic concept or theory, and actual numbers are used in examples.
The book is very specialized and may not appeal to the general public. The book also contains a large number of theories of international economics.
