Microeconomic Theory cover

This comprehensive textbook, Microeconomic Theory, covers essential topics in graduate-level microeconomics, providing depth and flexibility for instructors and students alike.

The textbook Microeconomic Theory serves as a thorough resource for graduate students embarking on a two-semester course in microeconomic theory. Drawing from the authors' extensive teaching experience at Harvard, it has been meticulously classroom tested to ensure its effectiveness. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of fundamental microeconomic principles, making it an essential tool for both students and instructors alike.

In Microeconomic Theory, readers will find an unprecedented depth of coverage on essential topics, including noncooperative game theory, information economics, mechanism design, and general equilibrium under uncertainty. The authors have crafted the material in a clear and engaging style, ensuring that complex concepts are accessible to students. Additionally, the textbook is structured to allow educators the flexibility to customize their courses according to their teaching priorities, making it a versatile choice for various academic settings.

To enhance the learning experience, Microeconomic Theory includes practice exercises that reinforce the material covered in each chapter, alongside a comprehensive appendix of terminology. This thoughtful approach to teaching microeconomics not only aids in comprehension but also encourages students to apply their knowledge in practical scenarios, ultimately preparing them for advanced studies and professional applications in economics.

"A seminal textbook in that Area. Should be used (and kept) by all graduate students in economic modelisation". * Professor Ferrer, Professor, University of Caen *
A very thorough and up to date presentation of the most important topics in Microeconomics. In my opinion this book will be the main text in many years to come. * Ulrich K. Schittko, Universitat Augsburg *
This is an excellent text book which will be the "bible" for economic theory. * Dr T. Hens, University of Bonn *
This is a superb, challenging text in micro theory - rigorous, solid and complete, priced competitively. * Colm Harmon, Maynooth College *
This impressive piece is bound soon to become a standard reference for those teaching microeconomics at the graduate level ... this book reads reasonably well and covers virtually all the material on microeconomic theory that can be taught to doctoral students up to date ... The obvious qualities of this book are clarity and lucidity. In most cases, precise definitions and formal proofs of propositions are supplied, accompanied by appropriate remarks, discussions, and examples. Not only does this rigorous treatment help readers to get a clear idea of the basic theory, but also, as an important byproduct, it teaches them how to reconstruct the proofs themselves ... the main quality of this book is probably that the recourse to abstraction is never fortuitous: it is always justified by a research conciseness and is systematically motivated by simple yet convincing illustrations. * Economica *
