ReviewsAdvance praise: 'This book covers the economics behind exchange rate movements and also provides well-thought-out examples of how to mitigate the risk of such movements. It is rigorous enough to challenge quantitative MBAs yet also builds from core fundamentals such that first-time students of international finance can grasp the material. I have used this book for years in MBA and Executive MBA courses.' Karl V. Lins, Spencer Fox Eccles Endowed Chair in Banking and Professor of Finance, David Eccles School of Business, University of Utah, Advance praise: 'This new edition of International Financial Management is the perfect text for both undergraduate and graduate courses on the subject. Its pedagogical approach helps students appreciate the dynamic world of international finance where understanding tradeoffs in a complex environment is essential for decision-making. Pedagogically sound, academically rigorous, and intellectually engaging - this is a great book for challenging and enriching students.' Robin L. Lumsdaine, Crown Prince of Bahrain Chair of International Finance, Kogod School of Business, American University, Washington DC
