Reviews

“A motivating textbook on international macroeconomics developed with articulate economic intuition and illustrated with latest issues in global economy.” — Ou Hu; Youngstown State University

“The world of international finance has been since 2007 one of the most complex and interesting ever known. Developing countries are evolving; developed economies are facing serious demographic and fiscal challenges; the international monetary system is anarchic; exchange rates fluctuate; the balance of payments imbalances abound; and challenges only increase. Cristina Terra’s ebook comes at a good time; putting these issues in order clearly and didactically. Including basic concepts and relevant models in a clear and well-illustrated way; this ebook will serve as an essential reference for practitioners and academics.”  — Arminio Fraga Neto; Gávea Investimentos; Brazil

“Cristina Terra’s excellent intermediate international macroeconomics textbook fills an important gap by offering analysis that is more mathematically demanding than standard mass-market textbooks; yet remains quite available to both advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students.  The ebook is also different in its focus on developing market policy issues; though the financial crisis has shown that progressive economy practitioners would do well to learn these lessons also.  Another very interesting aspect of the ebook is that a great deal of the material is included within a unified analytical framework; assisting students to see links between issues.  A very helpful addition to the market; especially for seniors and juniors that are really too advanced for standard intermediate international macro ebooks.” — Kenneth Rogoff; Harvard University
