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 int...
Covering both trade and international finance, International Economics, Second Edition, provides a thoroughly up to date and comprehensive treatment of each area. This innovative text features a flexible organization--including separate sections on international trade and international money--and can be used in a variety of courses. Author Charles Van Marrewijk illustrates theory and policy with empirical evidence and numerous case studies. He also provides brief accounts of economists who have contributed to the field and technical notes wherever they are needed.
This up-to-date third edition provides an accessible introduction to urban and geographical economics using real world examples and key models.
The need for a better understanding of the role location plays in economic life was first and most famously made explicit by Bertil Ohlin in 1933. However it is only recently, with the development of computer packages able to handle complex systems, as well as advances in economic theory (in particular an increased understanding of returns to scale and imperfect competition), that Ohlin s vision has been met and a framework developed which explains the distribution of economic activity across space. This book is an integrated, non-mathematical, first-principles textbook presenting geographical economics to advanced students. Never avoiding advanced concepts, its emphasis is on examples, diagrams, and empirical evidence, making it the ideal starting point prior to monographic and journal material. Contains copious computer simulation exercises, available in book and electronic format to encourage learning and understanding through application. Uses case study material from North America, Europe, Africa and Australasia.
International Trade and the World Economy provides an up-to- date theoretical and empirical analysis of the structure and forces underlying all 'real' international economics, such as trade flows, investment flows, and trade policy. The book is organized into four parts: introduction and classical trade; neo-classical trade; new trade; and new interactions (in geographical economics, multinationals, growth and development, and applied trade policy). Ample empirical material is used to illustrate the relevance of the new theories discussed and case studies encourage the direct application of newly learned material in each chapter. In addition, an accompanying study guide and website provide empirical questions to test theories and simulation questions to allow the student to get the feel for the structure of economic models and for the interpretation of results.
An economic analysis of the theory, modelling and history of international transfers.
Conclusion: 13.
This revised and updated introduction to geographical economics explains the who, why and where of the location of economic activity.
The launch of China's "New Silk Road" has seen a rapid development of its higher education and research systems. In this book an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars address how academic mobility and cooperation is taking shape along the New Silk Road and what difference it will make in the global higher education landscape.
Avinash Dixit and Joseph Stiglitz revolutionized the modelling of imperfectly competitive markets and launched "the second monopolistic competition revolution". Experts in the areas of macroeconomics, international trade theory, economic geography, and international growth theory examine the success of the second revolution in this collection of papers. They reveal what appears to be "missing" and look forward to the next step in the modelling of imperfectly competitive markets. The text includes a comprehensive survey of the two monopolistic competition revolutions, and previously unpublished working papers by Dixit and Stiglitz that led to their famous 1977 paper.
