A two-tier approach to learning makes this the most flexible book available: core theory within chapters is complemented by technical notes at the end of relevant chapters, allowing students to take their learning further

Description

A fully up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of International Trade, this book provides a solid foundation of international trade flows and theories, as well as the latest information on empirical developments and new theoretical insights. Fundamental changes in perspectives are covered, including the role of the firm in international trade flows and organization, in terms of heterogeneity, multinational activity, and global supply chain activities. The theory is illustrated throughout with empirical evidence and an abundance of relevant case studies.

The body of the text represents the first tier of analysis: it provides extensive written and graphical explanations of the structure of international trade. As a second tier of analysis, technical notes at the end of relevant chapters seek to support students who wish to take their learning further.

This book is accompanied by an Online Resource Center that features:

For students:
*Additional review questions
*Empirical questions based on data provided in Excel files
*Simulation questions allowing students to experiment with models

For lecturers:
*Model answers to questions
*Animated Powerpoint slides
*Further questions for use in seminars/ exams

Features

  • The only book that offers students a two-tier approach, introducing the core theories while also providing technical notes at the end of relevant chapters to allow students to deepen their understanding
  • The only text to move away from the traditional, US-centric perspective to offer a more balanced overview of international trade
  • Extensively illustrated with over 240 graphs, charts, and tables to transform abstract theories into tangible examples
