Handbook of International Economics Volume 3 (Handbooks in Economics)
By G.M. Grossman, K. Rogoff




Book Description:

Up-to-date surveys of all major research areas in international trade and international finance are presented in this volume. The chapters have a high standard of exposition, delivering ideas at the forefront of the field in a clear readable fashion. The volume has a good overall balance of theoretical and empirical coverage.

The trade side of the volume surveys theoretical work on trade based on scale economics and imperfect competition, the relationship between trade and technological progress, strategic trade policy, the political economy of trade policy, and the rules and institutions of international trade, as well as empirical work on trade patterns, trade policies, and regional integration. The finance side covers topics such as exchange rates, purchasing power parity, the current account, the international transmission of business cycles, foreign ending, international capital markets, target zones and speculative attacks on fixed exchange rates, and international economic policy coordination.

For students and researchers interested in understanding developments in modern international economics, this book is an essential reference.




Summary: Very useful for research
Rating: 5

Among the three volumes I know of this handbook series, this one has been the most useful for my research on international finance because it contains most of the recent debates. It covers international trade, finance and economic policy issues by means of really comprehensive chapters which not only make literature review but also show new results. Reading these chapters is a must for doing research on the field as the previous step to reading more recent literature in journals.
