• Mishkin’s unique viewpoint. Having just finished his term as Governor of the Federal Reserve, Mishkin brings a fresh perspective to today’s major policy questions. Insights into the monetary policy process, the regulation and supervision of the financial system, and internationalization of financial markets are integrated throughout.
• Financial Crises in Emerging Market Economies: This new chapter expands upon the analysis of economic fluctuations in economies that have recently opened up their markets to the outside world. The first example discussed in the chapter is the crisis in South Korea in 1997–1998. This example illustrates the first path toward a financial crisis operating through mismanagement of the financial liberalization/globalization. In the second example, we look at the Argentine crisis of 2001–2002, which was triggered through the second path of severe fiscal imbalances.
• Flexibility. A core set of chapters provides a basic framework for learning and analysis to fit a wide variety of syllabi, and a unifying, analytic framework uses a few basic economic principles to organize students' thinking. Careful, step-by-step model development makes the level appropriate for all students who take the course.
• Chapter pedagogy keeps students focused and motivated.
  • Applications are integrated within the main text, and provide students the opportunity to see theory at work.
  • Inside the Fed boxes reflect Mishkin's experience at the Federal Reserve and give students insight into the operation and structure of the Federal Reserve System. Additional box features include Following the Financial News boxes, Global boxes, FYI boxes, and Wall Street Journal Applications.
  • Review and study support are included in the form of chapter previews, summary tables, key statements, graphs, summaries, key terms, and a glossary.
  • Practice opportunities appear in the end-of-chapter problems as well as online in MyEconLab® with its auto-graded exercises with personalized feedback and targeted tutorial help
• Coverage of the latest data, questions, and theory are woven throughout, including:
  • Revised Chapter 14: Central Banks: A Global Perspective Monal Abdel-Baki at the American University in Cairo has contributed a revised chapter with expanded coverage of the role and structure of the ECB, and coverage of central banks in transition and emerging economies.Late-breaking financial events and issues. Mishkin is committed to bringing in the latest data and events so that students understand the underlying economic implications.
  • Coverage of China. China’s expanding role in the world economy is reflected through several discussions throughout the text. Topics include whether China is an argument against the importance of financial development (Chapter 8), problems in the Chinese banking industry (Chapter 12), and how China has become one of the largest holders of U.S. Treasury securities (Chapter 18).
    
  • Material on monetary theory and policy. Drawing on his continued involvement with central banks, Mishkin integrates monetary theory and policy discussions, including:
    • A section on whether price stability should be the primary goal of monetary policy and whether hierarchical or dual mandates are better for central banks in Chapter 13.
    • An examination of the declining importance of reserve requirements in the money supply process in Chapter 14.
    • An application of the impact of negative demand shocks on the U.S. economy from 2001 to 2004 in Chapter 22.
