Résumé

Husted and Melvin are widely praised for this accessible introduction to international economics. They use real data and issues to motivate the theoretical discussions, so that students leave the course with a practical understanding of major policy questions.

Features

Economic theory is developed within an intuitive framework, helping students build their understanding of a core set of concepts rather than memorizing a disparate array of theories and models.
Extensive use of real data ties the economic theory to events occurring in the real world.
Policy case studies highlight the latest policy debates, such as the outcomes of trade agreements.
Emphasis on business applications of international trade and finance theories enhances the practical nature of the course.
Level is accessible to students who have taken principles of economics, majors or non-majors alike. Advanced mathematics and extensions are available in the appendixes.
