Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A textbook on international economics, this title combines the contemporary research and perspectives on the pedagogy with strong theoretical underpinnings. Designed according to the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of international economics in India, this title combines the two parts of the course, international finance and international trade. Focussing on both theory and policy imperatives, providing ample case studies and examples, this book also provides advance topics for further research, besides detailed exercises for practice.
MoreLong description:
Over the last three decades, there has been a greater interdependence between economies than ever before due to fragmentation and outsourcing of production processes, increasing mobility of people, international capital flows, and flexible exchange rate regimes. International Economics initiates students to these changes in the global economic scenario by combining current research and new perspectives with conventional theoretical wisdom.
Complementing trade theories with relevant trade empirics, the book analyses a wide range of policy issues in the present wave of globalization relating to product standards and regulations; impact of environment on trade; labour and quality standards; bilateralism, regionalism, and multilateralism, with a focus on debates at the WTO; the growing expansion of service exports; and the linkages between trade and inclusive growth.
Unlike most textbooks on the subject that begin with model-specific discussions, this book takes a distinctively different approach. It first introduces the basic principles underlying international exchange, trade, and exchange rate policies, and then goes on to offer alternative theoretical explanations for these principles by using specific models of trade. Accessible and up-to-date, the book offers handy study aids in the form of clearly defined summary concepts, keywords, case studies, problem-solving exercises, and suggested reading for students and teachers of international economics.
