i can find some data frome this book
This was my school book for two classes: International trade and Trade policy. I liked it because of its complexity and graphs and examples.
I want to read
My brain hurts
It's a very good text for undergraduate international macro courses but a little too light on the math for my tastes. Still, I recommend to anyone who's interested in learning more about international macro and "big" economic questions like why we went off the gold standard (and why we were on it to begin with).
I need to read it
A great text on trade - quite popularly used as a text for introductory trade and international economics classes in colleges.
L’argomento è molto interessante ma anche molto ma molto complicato. Il primo volume l’ho trovato molto più scorrevole. Questo, nonostante il grande interesse per la materia, a tratti mi annoiava.bisognerebbe rileggerlo almeno una seconda volta per comprendere a pieno tutto.
studied this book last year and found it boring in the start but after the third chapter it makes me addicted to international economics... downloaded its slides too.
I try this book for my globalization class, I didn’t like it to much, i find it not digestible
I had to read this for uni. I learnt a lot and it used some great examples.
I tried to teach from this book and it turns out that for non-USA residents it is hard to study this specific language. There are a lot of things that developing countries experience in their interaction with the word and this book does not cover them much. I am not gonna say that this book is incompetent or whatsoever, however constellation of the general equilibrium around the only USA perspective does not provide you the necessary space to be flexible. Nevertheless, still, a nice book to cove...
Goodreads has a character limit that the summary exceeded by a lot - so here's the link to it.
The book covers a wide array of micro and macro theoretical concepts in regards to international trading. It starts off interesting enough, but my lack of understanding in basic economic theories made it difficult to follow some of the more nuanced and challenging concepts. I found it particularly amusing that the authors continuously made graphs to explain their models. Honestly, they often made the concepts more difficult for me instead of easier. Also, the graphs and formulas are completely a...
A great undergrad introduction to international economics and finance.While some familiarity with basic economic principles would help the reader immensely - opportunity cost and marginal benefit/cost, comparative vs. absolute advantage, no-arbitrage pricing conditions, imperfect market structures, etc. - the authors take time to properly define concepts and use intuitive examples to explain them.Additionally, the story boxes provide handy historical case studies as well as offer differing opini...
I got this book for a course I was taking at George Washington University. I didn't much care for the teacher's teaching methods nor the book. The book seems well written, but not easy to understand. I only read small parts of it for the 1 semester class. Very dry reading.
A fine read for everyone who seeks to establish a personal and fundamental understanding of today's complex economic world.
Libro interesante, con bastante información teórica, histórica y ejemplos que facilitan el entendimiento de conceptos económicos para los que no tenemos una educación fuerte en materias económicas y matemáticas. Considerando que son más de 700 páginas, no se hizo tan largo de leer.Lamentablemente, debo reconocer que a veces me sentí superado por la parte más teórica del texto, y en particular cuando se empezaba a hablar de ecuaciones y gráficos. De seguro como texto de algún curso, dedicándole e...
This was a very informative read and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking deeper knowledge of international economics. It covered both macro and microeconomics topics, formulas, and models in an approachable way. This book really shines in helping the reader to understand international economic laws and policies and the role of the WTO, GATT, TRIPS, and so on. After following up some of the things I learned with outside research I found a lot of my long held opinions on economic policies wer...
I haven't had much previous exposure, to Paul Krugman's work. This is a textbook, which is aimed at the core of his research. The focus appears to be on policy. The analysis, is top notch, however , there are some assumptions underlying the work, that colors it, specifically those related to "free trade", or money as a proxy, for all potential trade issues, which as mercantilism, has shown in the past, isn't quite true as an approximation, so it lacks a typology, and perhaps an understanding, of...
