Reviews

'The Feenstra/Taylor text is consistently one of the most well written texts in international economics. They present material in a way that is consistent across chapters in the text and with other classes students take in economics.' Mark Scanlan, Stephen F. Austin State University 'Currently, the best textbook in International Macroeconomic[s] for undergraduates...' Carlos Pulido, Arizona State University - Tempe 'One of the reasons why I choose to use this textbook is because of the quality of the problems at the end of each chapter and the numerous (rich) choices they give me in assigning a problem to my students.' Bedassa Tadesse, University of Minnesota - Duluth 'The explanations of difficult concepts are the best in this book. The graphs are clear and well supported with discussion for students to understand how they work.' Anthony Delmond, The University of Tennessee - Martin
