Maurice Obstfeld Bücher

Die 8. Auflage dieses Klassikers der Außenwirtschaftslehre erscheint in einer Zeit, in der die Weltwirtschaft nationale Politik und Debatten stark beeinflusst. Die Globalisierung hat alle Bereiche erfasst, mit sinkenden Transport- und Kommunikationskosten sowie weltweiten Vereinbarungen zur Reduzierung staatlicher Handelsbeschränkungen. Dies hat zu einem kontinuierlichen Anstieg des grenzüberschreitenden Handels mit Waren und Dienstleistungen geführt. Die zentralen Fragestellungen der Außenwirtschaftstheorie sind dabei konstant geblieben: Welche Vorteile bietet der Freihandel im Vergleich zum Protektionismus? Was sind die Ursachen für Außenhandelsüberschüsse oder -defizite, und wie können sie gelöst werden? Wie entstehen Banken- und Währungskrisen in offenen Volkswirtschaften, und welche Reaktionen sind vom Staat erforderlich? Paul Krugman und Maurice Obstfeld präsentieren die wichtigsten theoretischen Modelle internationaler Handels- und Finanzbeziehungen und analysieren die jüngsten wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen kritisch. Sie betrachten alle Aspekte der Handels- und Währungspolitik objektiv, ohne dogmatische Ansichten zu vermitteln, und ermöglichen dem Leser so einen klaren Einblick in die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der internationalen Wirtschaftspolitik.

"In the US, in Europe, and throughout the world, globalization, in tandem with technological progress, has left a massive number of people behind, feeling dispossessed, disenfranchised, and angry. Leading the charge of "hyperglobalization" during the second half of the last century, and enforcing the Western framework of austerity in the developing world has been the International Monetary Fund. Along with the World Bank and WTO, many consider the IMF one of the most consequential institutions to have pushed the world economy blindly towards excessive globalization, while not adequately considering its powerful negative consequences. In October 2017, however, the IMF convened with some of the world's most celebrated economists and experts on trade and globalization to have an honest discussion on the most pressing concerns the world faces today as a result of globalization, and how to address the extensive challenges it has created. Edited by chief economist Maurice Obstfeld and senior economist Luis Catao of the IMF, the book brings together a team of respected senior economists with the most promising younger scholars to address five major themes: how globalization affects economic growth and social welfare; potential political implications of an honest discussion of globalization, and that "free trade may not be politically viable"; free trade's role in global inequality; how workers adjust or not when they're dislocated by globalization; and how trade policy influences the way countries develop their economies and societies. The book could represent a historic milestone at which the world's top economists and policymakers have an unprecedented, honest debate about the real costs and consequences of globalization"--Provided by publisher

Foundations of International Macroeconomics is an innovative text that offers the first integrative modern treatment of the core issues in open economy macroeconomics and finance. With its clear and accessible style, it is suitable for first-year graduate macroeconomics courses as well as graduate courses in international macroeconomics and finance. Each chapter incorporates an extensive and eclectic array of empirical evidence. For the beginning student, these examples provide motivation and aid in understanding the practical value of the economic models developed. For advanced researchers, they highlight key insights and conundrums in the field. Topic coverage includes intertemporal consumption and investment theory, government spending and budget deficits, finance theory and asset pricing, the implications of (and problems inherent in) international capital market integration, growth, inflation and seignorage, policy credibility, real and nominal exchange rate determination, and many interesting special topics such as speculative attacks, target exchange rate zones, and parallels between immigration and capital mobility. Most main results are derived both for the small country and world economy cases. The first seven chapters cover models of the real economy, while the final three chapters incorporate the economy's monetary side, including an innovative approach to bridging the usual chasm between real and monetary models.
