"This book provides a deep understanding of contemporary developments in international finance. Baker and Riddick have collected the best survey papers and cutting-edge pieces written by some of the most prominent researchers in international finance. They have provided an extremely thorough and up-do-date overview of exchange rate and international debt markets, central banks policies and regulatory responses from international institutions. In addition, it offers an insight into international investments and portfolio management in the context of global financial systems. The book's impressive breadth and depth make it an essential reference for any researcher interested in understanding the state-of-the-art in international finance."--Dr. Luisa Corrado, Associate Professor, Department of Economics (DEDI) University of Rome Tor Vergata; Research Fellow, CreMic and CIMF, Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge
