SPSS Review.......2007-01-03
Good book. Nice that it comes with SPSS Student Version software CD. (I didn't notice that for at least a month--it's in the back of the book.) The authors try to write in a cutesy, friendly way. Kinda fun sometimes. There are some typos in the book that caused me grief--in particular in the assignments at the end of chapters (that's how my professor assigned homework from the book). Some of the things in the book I thought could've been explained better. Overall, though, it's a good book. If you're a Mac user, by the way, and you have an Intel Mac, you can run this program on your Mac using Parallel (which I got for $79). OR, if you have another Mac (or even the Intel one) you can use Apple's beta version of BootCamp. Parallel just allows you to run Windows and Mac OS X at the same time.

This book fills a gap in the literature by combining elements from seemingly disjointed parts of economics and presenting them in a consistent analytical framework. It lays the groundwork for the integration of capital, labor, and finance into a unified treatment of globalization. The book is intended as a compact textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in special topics in international economics and public economics. It can also serve as a reference text for applied researchers and policy professionals.
