Synopsis
Developed in the classroom by two of the most prominent researchers in the field, Robert C Feenstra and Alan M Taylor's International Macroeconomics 4e is a modern textbook for a modern audience. The new edition provides new material and examples rigorous enough to meet the challenges of teaching in this fast-moving area, yet approachable enough to encourage learning. Applications, integrated throughout, use real-world policies, events and evidence, and help students connect theory to real world policy and events. Many topics covered reflect recent applied research and data as well as shedding new light on existing theories-sometimes supporting them, sometimes refuting them. Headlines, also show how topics in the main text relate directly to media coverage of the global economy.

Review
'The authors present an innovative mix of theory, stylized facts, application of the theory to current and historical examples, and discussion of recent empirical research. No other textbook has this mix that I find tremendously appealing.' -Maria Muniagurria, University of Wisconsin, USA 'The addition of the gains from financial globalization is quite attractive, as are the chapters covering the winners and losers from trade and outsourcing. These three chapters make this book very topical and I think particularly interesting to students.' - Diane Flaherty, University of Massachusetts, USA 'The authors have carefully selected several very interesting and relevant case studies which provide an opportunity to motivate and apply the tools explained through the text. It is very difficult to teach students how to think like an economist. It requires time and discipline. But this text makes an important contribution in that direction.' - Ricardo A. Lopez, Indiana University, USA
