International Economics constitutes the field in which general tools of micro and macroeconomics are applied to specific problems with great rigor and intensity. This book covers the most important issues in International economics without shortchanging the enduring theoretical and historical insights that have traditionally formed the core of the subject. Almost all theories are developed verbally and with the help of geometry. The principle of exposition followed involves development of the simplest model to demonstrate some central propositions such as the gain from trade, the neutrality of exchange rates, and the tendency for automatic adjustments to disturbances. These simple models are then modified and extended to make them progressively more useful for understanding real-world phenomenon and policies. Environmental economics seeks to quantify natural losses and determine the most efficient way to reduce them, as well as to compare the cost of environmental damage to the cost f mitigation. To analyze the costs and benefits of reduced environmental damage, economists must compare changes in economic well being today with changes in economic well being in the future. Environmental economics has grown to be major sub discipline of economics. It combines traditional work in the field of welfare economics and the theory of economic growth with more recent perspectives on the political economy of choosing policy instruments and the philosophy of sustainable development.
