More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
International Finance is a well-established and internationally renowned introduction to the subject for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It provides comprehensive coverage of both traditional and modern theories relating to the balance of payments, exchange rate determination and the international monetary system. There is extensive use of data and empirical evidence to illustrate the relevance of theories and concepts discussed.
The third edition has been fully updated to include key theoretical and real world developments and details the Eurocurrency and Eurobond markets and derivative instruments such as futures, options and swaps. Major international economic issues, such as international policy co-ordination, the record United States current account deficits and Economic and Monetary Union in the European Union are given full coverage. A new chapter on currency and financial crises provides the basis for a study of the 2001 economic collapse in Argentina and the South East Asian crises of the late 1990s.

Format:Paperback
This is easily the best of the books that I have had delivered to cover our course in international macroeconomics this term. It covers the balance of payments,exchange rates, the European Monetary Union and the Asian financial crisis. There is a great balance between the theory and data - we are also using another book which only has theory but surely it should be a combination if students is to remain interested. Although the course has been only running for a couple of weeks this book is proviing to be a great investment.

This UK text is beautifully written and the mathematics that underpins the economic models is clearly explained.
For example, the Keynesian IS / LM / BP loci are derived with reference to Keynesian algebra, and the contrasting methodology of the monetarist approach is outlined in comprehensible mathematical jargon. Like all good texts, the empirical validity of the models is appraised.
The analysis of economic 'shocks' for each model is logically expounded and, in summary, alongside Laurence Copeland's text,this is a must-buy for any undergraduate.
(Incidentally, I graduated in the 1980s, but, being unemployed, this text keeps me out of mischief).

In-depth treatment but lack of dynamic analyses
It is a good treatment to the topics overall. It provides deep and approachable details of the chapters. Read more
