This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content that is especially relevant to students outside the United States.   About the book   Reveal theory and applications of international trade The text presents a balance of theoretical and practical coverage of international trade. Chapters on core theory are followed by a series of application chapters that confront policy questions using the newest empirical work, data, and policy debates. This structure enables students to grasp theoretical concepts and then see those same concepts in action, aiding retention and highlighting the relevance of course material. Key coverage includes the following: ·    An integrated, empirical-based treatment of the latest models of trade, such as the gravity, Ricardian, factor endowments, and imperfect competition models. ·    A thorough discussion of the causes and effects of trade policy focused on the income–distribution effects of trade. ·    An emphasis on the potential substitutability of international trade and international movements of factors of production, featuring an analysis of international borrowing and lending as intertemporal trade–the exchange of present consumption for future consumption.   Give students learning tools to master course material ·    Learning Goals list essential concepts so students understand what they need to take away from each chapter. ·    Case Studies illustrate theory using real-world applications and provide important historical context. ·    Special Boxes offer vivid illustrations of points made in the text, including President Jefferson’s trade embargo of 1807–1809, and the disputes over banana trade to generate acrimony among countries far too cold to grow any of their own bananas. ·    200+ Captioned diagrams reinforce discussions in the text and help students in reviewing the material. ·    Summary and Key Terms. Each chapter closes with a summary recapping the major points to aid student review of the material. ·    Problems, many of which cite real data or policies, allow students to practice what they’re learning. They range from routine computational drills to more analytical questions and problems. All end-of-chapter problems are included in Pearson MyLab™ Economics so that instructors can assign homework without needing to grade students’ work by hand. ·    Further Reading sections at the end of each chapter provide annotated bibliographies of both seminal works and recent articles, encouraging students to explore the material further.   Relay recent developments in the theoretical and practical sides of international trade ·    EXPANDED! Case study on trade and unemployment discusses the potential links between import competition from developing countries--especially China--and declining manufacturing employment in the US (Chapter 4). ·    NEW! Box explores how the compensation of capital owners relative to workers has increased in the US (Chapter 5). ·    NEW! Box discusses recent evidence showing that the gains from trade have a pro-poor bias--because consumers with relatively lower incomes tend to consume a relatively higher share of their income on goods that are more widely traded (Chapter 6). ·    NEW! Box explains how many of the goods we consume are produced offshore in “Global Value
