Résumé

International Economics, Third Edition, offers a flexible approach to the survey of international economics, with the goal of making economic reasoning accessible to a diverse group of students.

Addressing international topics in a non-technical manner, using engaging case studies and focusing on institutions and policy, Gerber's text is appropriate for majors and non-majors alike. The wide focus of the book encompasses the traditional theoretical apparatus and a broad range of content that provides context to the material. The book has received accolades from many instructors, who have praised it as mainstream, up-to-date, and easily comprehensible.

International trade and international finance topics are covered in separate, distinct parts, allowing the instructor maximum flexibility.
Thorough coverage of regional issues gives students a solid understanding of contemporary concerns and controversies in international economics, such as the challenges facing Mexico's maquiladora industry and the growth of the European Union as new member countries are integrated.
Rich historical and institutional detail included throughout, illuminates the relationships between economic theory and policy, and between economic theory and other social sciences.
Companion Web site includes timely and useful Web links and a complete PowerPoint lecture presentation.
