Review 'useful book... the book gives the interested reader a fine overview of the state of the art in international macroeconomics... It will also show him or her how unsettled the field is, and how much more research will have to be done to improve our knowledge of the exchange markets and of the nature of the interdependence between countries.' Paul De Grauwe, The Economic Journal, May 1992`Collectively these articles should inform academics and policy-makers as they implement the integrated European market and the single European currency... the book does a good job of illustrating how macroeconomic models can be employed to study questions that policymakers care about.'
