Developed in the classroom by two of the most prominent researchers in the field, Feenstra and Taylor’s International Economics uses engaging applications to provide a modern view of the global economy for a modern audience. Most international economics textbooks emphasize theory and the economies of advanced countries. Feenstra and Taylor combine theoretical coverage with empirical evidence throughout, while reflecting the realities of the global economy by covering emerging markets and developing countries (India, China, Southeast Asia).
The new edition has been thoroughly updated to include new data and Applications, as well as many new Headlines to reflect the rapid changes in international economics during the last three years. The 4th Edition includes the latest on opening relations with Cuba, immigration and Europe’s refugee crisis, the effect of NAFTA on wages and employment, job polarization, quicksourcing, China’s problems, and the debate in Britain about leaving the European Union. A modern textbook requires a modern and integrated homework system. LaunchPad offers our acclaimed content organized for easy assignability by instructors and enhanced learning for students.

Empirical evidence is examined relentlessly to support or modify theory, while reflecting the realities of the modern global economy.
Developed in the classroom by two of the most prominent researchers in the field, Feenstra and Taylor’s International Economics uses engaging applications to provide a modern view of the global economy for a modern audience. Most international economics textbooks emphasize theory and the economies of advanced countries. Feenstra and Taylor combine theoretical coverage with empirical evidence throughout, while reflecting the realities of the global economy by covering emerging markets and developing countries (India, China, Southeast Asia).
The new edition has been thoroughly updated to include new data and Applications, as well as many new Headlines to reflect the rapid changes in international economics during the last three years. The 4th Edition includes the latest on opening relations with Cuba, immigration and Europe’s refugee crisis, the effect of NAFTA on wages and employment, job polarization, quicksourcing, China’s problems, and the debate in Britain about leaving the European Union. A modern textbook requires a modern and integrated homework system. LaunchPad offers our acclaimed content organized for easy assignability by instructors and enhanced learning for students.Features
Empirical evidence integrated throughout helps students connect theory to real world policy and events. A Discovering Data problem in every chapter reinforces the empirical dimension.Applications, integrated into the main text, use real-world policies, events, and evidence.Headlines, which show how topics in the main text relate directly to media coverage of the global economy.Side Bars include interesting topics related to key concepts.
New to This Edition
Question to Consider are included at the start of each chapter to direct students to the key concepts and questions to follow. Empirical evidence integrated throughout helps students connect theory to real world policy and events. In the 4th edition, this evidence will be noted with an icon. A Discovering Data problem is found at the beginning of each set of end-of-chapter problems. This problem provides students with the opportunity to research real data to solve an economic problem. [PUT ABOVE, SOONER.]New online feature! Work It Out
Available in LaunchPad, Work It Out puts one problem from each chapter in an interactive tutorial setting. Video instruction guides students toward the solution of the problem step by step.
"The applications are of first-class. They apply the models with actual cases. In each analysis, they associate the case with the theoretical components analysed, and also quantify them so that the students can really get away with a firm understanding of the model and its implications in practice."
"Feenstra/Taylor offers a state of the art presentation of international economics. Students can find a clear explanation of theory supplemented with up-to-date real-world applications."
—Yanling Wang, Carleton University
—Till Schreiber, College of William & Mary"The "Headlines" and "Application" features are excellent and really do a great job of connecting theory to the real world (which students like)."
—Brandon Sheridan, North Central College
