Handbook of International Economics: International Macroeconomics

This volume of the Handbook of International Economics is devoted to international macroeconomics. It gathers chapters, each written by a leading specialist, on where the subject stands today. The chapters summarise established findings as well as newer work drawn from journals and discussion papers.

The chapters cover the global financial cycle, the dominant currency paradigm, the rethinking of exchange rate regimes, deviations from covered interest parity, the role of the dollar and frictions in international capital markets. Other chapters look at international macroeconomics when financial markets are imperfect, at policy tools such as capital controls and foreign currency reserves, and at a survey of financial crises.

The surveys are written for researchers and advanced graduate students who need a current overview of the field. The volume is part of the Handbooks in Economics series, numbered 6, and its chapters come from an international board of authors.
