This Special edition of Mankiw and Taylor’s Economics provides highly topical and in-depth coverage of the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. Two new chapters are included: one on the causes of the recession and one on the remedies available to resolve it. Using a rich array of real-life examples, these new chapters provide students with up to date, real world insights into economic crises. Alongside these two new chapters, several of the existing chapters have been carefully revised and updated to clarify and enhance their content, and further expand students’ knowledge of economic theory. All of the features that made the original edition so successful and well-regarded have been retained including the classic Ten Principles approach to economics - introduced in Chapter One and then referred to throughout the book, the distinctly European flavour including reference to UK and European institutions and policy, familiar terminology and cultural references, predominant use of the euro in discussions and UK and European case studies and press extracts.

The book covers a wide range of topics of relevance to policymakers in countries that have sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) and those that receive SWF investments. Renowned experts in the field have contributed chapters. The book is organized around four themes: (1) the role and macrofinancial linkages of SWFs, (2) institutional factors, (3) investment approaches and financial markets, and (4) the postcrisis outlook. The book also discusses the challenges facing sovereign wealth funds in the coming years, from an inside perspective on countries, including Canada, Chile, China, Norway, Russia, and New Zealand. Economics of Sovereign Wealth Funds will contribute to a further understanding of the nature, strategies and behavior of SWFs and the environment in which they operate, as their importance is likely to grow in the coming years.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book explains the role of private law in governing markets.
