"The Feenstra/Taylor text is consistently one of the most well written texts in international economics. They present material in a way that is consistent across chapters in the text and with other classes students take in economics."

-Mark Scanlan, Stephen F. Austin State University

 

"Currently, the best textbook in International Macroeconomic[s] for undergraduates in the U.S."

-Carlos Pulido, Arizona State University - Tempe

 

"One of the reasons why I choose to use this textbook is because of the quality of the problems at the end of each chapter and the numerous (rich) choices they give me in assigning a problem to my students."

-Bedassa Tadesse, University of Minnesota - Duluth

 

"The explanations of difficult concepts are the best in this book. The graphs are clear and well supported with discussion for students to understand how they work."
