Nicola Acocella

Economic Policy in the Age of Globalisation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the age of globalization, both domestic and foreign economic policies play an important role in determining firms' strategies. At the same time, firms' choices have a greater impact on economic policymaking in a global economy, as the range of alternatives open to them expands. Nicola Acocella analyzes both sides of this relationship and places special emphasis on current issues. Broad in scope, this book is aimed at students who have completed an introductory course in both micro- and macro-economics.
