Preface
Years after the global financial crisis that broke out in 2007–2008, the industrial world’s economies are still growing too slowly to restore full employment. Emerging markets, despite impressive income gains in many cases, remain vulnerable to the ebb and flow of global capital. And finally, an acute economic crisis in the euro area has lasted since 2009, bringing the future of Europe’s common currency into question. This tenth edition therefore comes out at a time when we are more aware than ever before of how events in the global economy influence each country’s economic for- tunes, policies, and political debates. The world that emerged from World War II was one in which trade, financial, and even communication links between countries were limited. More than a decade into the 21st century, however, the picture is very dif- ferent. Globalization has arrived, big time. International trade in goods and services has expanded steadily over the past six decades thanks to declines in shipping and communication costs, globally negotiated reductions in government trade barriers, the widespread outsourcing of production activities, and a greater awareness of for- eign cultures and products. New and better communications technologies, notably the Internet, have revolutionized the way people in all countries obtain and exchange information. International trade in financial assets such as currencies, stocks, and bonds has expanded at a much faster pace even than international product trade. This process brings benefits for owners of wealth but also creates risks of contagious financial instability. Those risks were realized during the recent global financial cri- sis, which spread quickly across national borders and has played out at huge cost to the world economy. Of all the changes on the international scene in recent decades, however, perhaps the biggest one remains the emergence of China—a development that is already redefining the international balance of economic and political power in the coming century.
Imagine the astonishment of the generation that lived through the depressed 1930s as adults, had its members been able to foresee the shape of today’s world economy! Nonetheless, the economic concerns that continue to cause international debate have not changed that much from those that dominated the 1930s, nor indeed since they were first analyzed by economists more than two centuries ago. What are the merits of free trade among nations compared with protectionism? What causes countries to run trade surpluses or deficits with their trading partners, and how are such imbalances resolved over time? What causes banking and currency crises in open economies, what causes financial contagion between economies, and how should governments handle international financial instability? How can governments avoid unemployment and inflation, what role do exchange rates play in their efforts, and how can countries best cooperate to achieve their economic goals? As always in international economics, the interplay of events and ideas has led to new modes of analysis. In turn, these analyti- cal advances, however abstruse they may seem at first, ultimately do end up playing a major role in governmental policies, in international negotiations, and in people’s everyday lives. Globalization has made citizens of all countries much more aware than ever before of the worldwide economic forces that influence their fortunes, and global- ization is here to stay.

New to the Tenth Edition
For this edition, we are offering an Economics volume as well as Trade and Finance splits. The goal with these distinct volumes is to allow professors to use the book that best suits their needs based on the topics they cover in their International Economics course. In the Economics volume for a two-semester course, we follow the standard practice of dividing the book into two halves, devoted to trade and to monetary questions. Although the trade and monetary portions of international economics are often treated as unrelated subjects, even within one textbook, similar themes and methods recur in both subfields. We have made it a point to illuminate connections between the trade and monetary areas when they arise. At the same time, we have made sure that the book’s two halves are completely self-contained. Thus, a one- semester course on trade theory can be based on Chapters 2 through 12, and a one- semester course on international monetary economics can be based on Chapters 13 through 22. For professors’ and students’ convenience, however, they can now opt to use either the Trade or the Finance volume, depending on the length and scope of their course.
We have thoroughly updated the content and extensively revised several chapters. These revisions respond both to users’ suggestions and to some important develop- ments on the theoretical and practical sides of international economics. The most far-reaching changes in the Trade volume are the following:
■ Chapter 5, Resources and Trade: The Heckscher-Ohlin Model This edition offers expanded coverage of the effects on wage inequality of North-South trade, tech- nological change, and outsourcing. The section describing the empirical evidence on the Heckscher-Ohlin model has been rewritten, emphasizing new research. That section also incorporates some new data showing how China’s pattern of exports has changed over time in a way that is consistent with the predictions of the Heckscher-Olhin model.
■ Chapter 6, The Standard Trade Model This chapter has been updated with some new data documenting how the terms of trade for the U.S. and Chinese economies have evolved over time.
■ Chapter 8, Firms in the Global Economy: Export Decisions, Outsourcing, and Multinational Enterprises The coverage emphasizing the role of firms in interna- tional trade has been revised. There is also a new Case Study analyzing the impact of offshoring in the United States on U.S. unemployment.
■ Chapter 9, The Instruments of Trade Policy This chapter features an updated treat- ment of the effects of trade restrictions on United States firms. This chapter now describes the recent trade policy dispute between the European Union and China regarding solar panels and the effects of the “Buy American” restrictions that were written into the American Recovery and Re-Investment Act of 2009.
■ Chapter 12, Controversies in Trade Policy A new case study discusses the recent gar- ment factory collapse in Bangladesh (in April 2013) and the tension between the costs and benefits of Bangladesh’s rapid growth as a clothing exporter.
In addition to these structural changes, we have updated the book in other ways to maintain current relevance. Thus, in the Trade volume, we examine the educational profile of foreign born workers in the United States and how it differs from the over- all population (Chapter 4); we review recent anti-dumping disputes involving China (Chapter 8).
About the Book
The idea of writing this book came out of our experience in teaching international eco- nomics to undergraduates and business students since the late 1970s. We perceived two main challenges in teaching. The fi was to communicate to students the exciting intellec- tual advances in this dynamic fi The second was to show how the development of in- ternational economic theory has traditionally been shaped by the need to understand the changing world economy and analyze actual problems in international economic policy.
We found that published textbooks did not adequately meet these challenges. Too often, international economics textbooks confront students with a bewildering array of special models and assumptions from which basic lessons are difficult to extract. Because many of these special models are outmoded, students are left puzzled about the real-world relevance of the analysis. As a result, many textbooks often leave a gap between the somewhat antiquated material to be covered in class and the exciting issues that dominate current research and policy debates. That gap has widened dra- matically as the importance of international economic problems—and enrollments in international economics courses—have grown.
This book is our attempt to provide an up-to-date and understandable analytical framework for illuminating current events and bringing the excitement of internation- al economics into the classroom. In analyzing both the real and monetary sides of the subject, our approach has been to build up, step by step, a simple, unified framework for communicating the grand traditional insights as well as the newest findings and approaches. To help the student grasp and retain the underlying logic of international economics, we motivate the theoretical development at each stage by pertinent data and policy questions.
The Place of This Book in the Economics Curriculum
Students assimilate international economics most readily when it is presented as a method of analysis vitally linked to events in the world economy, rather than as a body of abstract theorems about abstract models. Our goal has therefore been to stress con- cepts and their application rather than theoretical formalism. Accordingly, the book does not presuppose an extensive background in economics. Students who have had a course in economic principles will find the book accessible, but students who have taken further courses in microeconomics or macroeconomics will find an abundant supply of new material. Specialized appendices and mathematical postscripts have been included to challenge the most advanced students.
Some Distinctive Features
This book covers the most important recent developments in international economics without shortchanging the enduring theoretical and historical insights that have tra- ditionally formed the core of the subject. We have achieved this comprehensiveness by stressing how recent theories have evolved from earlier findings in response to an evolving world economy. The text is divided into a core of chapters focused on theory, followed by chapters applying the theory to major policy questions, past and current.
In Chapter 1, we describe in some detail how this book addresses the major themes of international economics. Here we emphasize several of the topics that previous authors failed to treat in a systematic way.
Increasing returns and Market Structure
Even before discussing the role of comparative advantage in promoting international exchange and the associated welfare gains, we visit the forefront of theoretical and empirical research by setting out the gravity model of trade (Chapter 2). We return to the research frontier (in Chapters 7 and 8) by explaining how increasing returns and product differentiation affect trade and welfare. The models explored in this discus- sion capture significant aspects of reality, such as intraindustry trade and shifts in trade patterns due to dynamic scale economies. The models show, too, that mutually beneficial trade need not be based on comparative advantage.
Firms in International trade
Chapter 8 also summarizes exciting new research focused on the role of firms in international trade. The chapter emphasizes that different firms may fare differently in the face of globalization. The expansion of some and the contraction of others shift overall production toward more efficient producers within industrial sectors, raising overall productivity and thereby generating gains from trade. Those firms that expand in an environment of freer trade may have incentives to outsource some of their pro- duction activities abroad or take up multinational production, as we describe in the chapter.
Politics and theory of trade Policy
Starting in Chapter 4, we stress the effect of trade on income distribution as the key political factor behind restrictions on free trade. This emphasis makes it clear to stu- dents why the prescriptions of the standard welfare analysis of trade policy seldom prevail in practice. Chapter 12 explores the popular notion that governments should adopt activist trade policies aimed at encouraging sectors of the economy seen as cru- cial. The chapter includes a theoretical discussion of such trade policy based on simple ideas from game theory.
Learning Features
This book incorporates a number of special learning features that will maintain stu- dents’ interest in the presentation and help them master its lessons.
Case Studies
Case studies that perform the threefold role of reinforcing material covered earlier, illustrating its applicability in the real world, and providing important historical infor- mation often accompany theoretical discussions.
Special Boxes
Less central topics that nonetheless offer particularly vivid illustrations of points made in the text are treated in boxes. Among these are U.S. President Thomas Jeffer- son’s trade embargo of 1807–1809 (Chapter 3); the astonishing ability of disputes over banana trade to generate acrimony among countries far too cold to grow any of their own bananas (Chapter 10).
Captioned Diagrams
More than 200 diagrams are accompanied by descriptive captions that reinforce the discussion in the text and help the student in reviewing the material.
Learning Goals
A list of essential concepts sets the stage for each chapter in the book. These learning goals help students assess their mastery of the material.
Summary and Key terms
Each chapter closes with a summary recapitulating the major points. Key terms and phrases appear in boldface type when they are introduced in the chapter and are listed at the end of each chapter. To further aid student review of the material, key terms are italicized when they appear in the chapter summary.
Problems
Each chapter is followed by problems intended to test and solidify students’ compre- hension. The problems range from routine computational drills to “big picture” ques- tions suitable for classroom discussion. In many problems we ask students to apply what they have learned to real-world data or policy questions.
Further readings
For instructors who prefer to supplement the textbook with outside readings, and for students who wish to probe more deeply on their own, each chapter has an annotated bibliography that includes established classics as well as up-to-date examinations of recent issues.
MyEconLab
MyEconLab
MyEconLab is the premier online assessment and tutorial system, pairing rich online content with innovative learning tools. MyEconLab includes comprehensive home- work, quiz, test, and tutorial options, allowing instructors to manage all assessment needs in one program. Key innovations in the MyEconLab course for the tenth edition of International Trade: Theory & Policy include the following:
■ Real-Time Data Analysis Exercises, marked with , allow students and instructors to use the latest data from FRED, the online macroeconomic data bank from the
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. By completing the exercises, students become familiar with a key data source, learn how to locate data, and develop skills to inter- pret data.
■ In the enhanced eText available in MyEconLab, figures labeled MyEconLab Real- Time Data allow students to display a pop-up graph updated with real-time data from FRED.
■ Current News Exercises, new to this edition of the MyEconLab course, provide a turn- key way to assign gradable news-based exercises in MyEconLab. Every week, Pearson scours the news, finds a current article appropriate for an economics course, creates an exercise around the news article, and then automatically adds it to MyEconLab. Assigning and grading current news-based exercises that deal with the latest economic events has never been more convenient.
Students and MyEconLab
This online homework and tutorial system puts students in control of their own learning through a suite of study and practice tools correlated with the online, in- teractive version of the textbook and learning aids such as animated figures. Within MyEconLab’s structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and then pursue a study plan that MyEconLab generates for them based on their performance.
Instructors and MyEconLab
MyEconLab provides flexible tools that allow instructors easily and effectively to cus- tomize online course materials to suit their needs. Instructors can create and assign tests, quizzes, or homework assignments. MyEconLab saves time by automatically grading all questions and tracking results in an online gradebook. MyEconLab can even grade assignments that require students to draw a graph.
After registering for MyEconLab instructors have access to downloadable supple- ments such as an instructor’s manual, PowerPoint lecture notes, and a test bank. The test bank can also be used within MyEconLab, giving instructors ample material from which they can create assignments—or the Custom Exercise Builder makes it easy for instructors to create their own questions.
Weekly news articles, video, and RSS feeds help keep students updated on current events and make it easy for instructors to incorporate relevant news in lectures and homework.
