Recenzje

"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."-Watanabe Shinichi, International University of Japan
