Developed in the classroom by two of the most prominent researchers in the field, Feenstra and Taylor’s *International Economics* offers a comprehensive and engaging perspective on the modern global economy. Unlike many international economics textbooks that focus primarily on theory and the economies of advanced countries, this book combines rigorous theoretical coverage with empirical evidence. It reflects the realities of today’s interconnected world by including extensive discussions on emerging markets and developing countries such as India, China, and Southeast Asia.
The latest 4th Edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate new data, applications, and relevant headlines that highlight the rapid changes in international economics over the past three years. It features the latest developments on topics such as opening relations with Cuba, immigration and Europe’s refugee crisis, the impact of NAFTA on wages and employment, job polarization, quicksourcing, China’s economic challenges, and the ongoing debate in Britain about leaving the European Union. This edition ensures students are equipped with current insights into the evolving global landscape.
A modern textbook requires a modern, integrated approach to learning. To meet this need, the 4th Edition includes LaunchPad, an innovative homework system designed for easy assignability by instructors and enhanced learning experiences for students. This digital platform organizes content effectively, supporting both teaching and comprehension in today’s dynamic educational environment.
