About this ebook
The 11th Global Edition of International Finance: Theory and Policy by Paul R. Krugman, Maurice Obstfeld, and Marc J. Melitz balances the core mathematical frameworks of macroeconomics with practical, global policy applications. [1, 2]
The textbook is structured into two core parts covering eleven foundational chapters: [1]

📈 Part I: Exchange Rates and Open-Economy Macroeconomics
This section introduces the foundational accounting frameworks and asset-market models needed to analyze currency movements and short-to-long-run economic fluctuations. [1]
  • National Income Accounting and the Balance of Payments: Understanding gross national product (GNP), how a nation tracks its foreign transactions, and the current account balance. [1]
  • Exchange Rates and the Foreign Exchange Market (An Asset Approach): How exchange rates are determined in the financial markets by investors balancing liquidity and expected asset returns. [1]
  • Money, Interest Rates, and Exchange Rates: Analyzing the interaction between central bank monetary policies, domestic interest rates, and short-run currency valuations. [1]
  • Price Levels and the Exchange Rate in the Long Run: Exploration of the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory, the monetary approach to exchange rates, and the real exchange rate. [1]
  • Output and the Exchange Rate in the Short Run: The DD-AA framework mapping out how monetary and fiscal policies interact with output and exchange rates under flexible regimes. [1]
  • Fixed Exchange Rates and Foreign Exchange Intervention: How central banks peg currencies, manage foreign reserves, and navigate balance of payments crises. [1]

🗒 Part II: International Macroeconomic Policy
This section shifts from theoretical modeling to historical realities, systemic global integration, and contemporary institutional frameworks. [1, 2]
  • International Monetary Systems (A Historical Overview): A retrospective look at global architecture, including the Gold Standard, the Bretton Woods system, and the modern floating era.
  • Financial Globalization (Opportunity and Crisis): Examining the massive expansion of international capital markets, offshore banking, and the systemic risks of global contagion.
  • Optimum Currency Areas and the Euro: The economic criteria for a shared currency region, detailing the institutional design and challenges faced by the European Union.
