Synopsis

This text presents a practical perspective on microeconomic theory for students. Real-world examples are integrated throughout the text, and the author's use of modern theories to analyze actual markets, and a clear, step-by-step approach to problem-solving aims to motivate and challenge students, and help them better understand how microeconomic theory is used to resolve problems and analyze policy issues. Game theory is integrated throughout the second half of the text, rather than in one isolated chapter.
