Index 487
"Montiel's book is indispensable for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of International Macroeconomics. It presents a much more realistic picture than what is provided by other textbooks."
-Rodolphe Desbordes, University of Strathclyde
"This text's main strength is its unified approach, as it starts with a general model, and then considers special cases pertaining to particular countries, institutions, and historical time periods."
-Kenneth Kasa, Simon Fraser University
"Montiel's friendly style, clarity of exposition, and rigorous treatment of the international topics make this a strong textbook."
-David Shepherd, University of Westminster
"This text's exposition is very methodical, applying the method of comparative statics systematically for evaluating important contemporaneous policy issues as well as historical episodes."
