Synopsis

Is it more efficient to rent a car or take taxis while on vacation? How do coupons change demand? MICROECONOMICS: AN INTUITIVE APPROACH explains the economic theory underlying everyday choices in a fun and conversational way. While showing the big picture of economic intuition, this easy-to-read text also aids conceptual thinking with careful analysis. Each copy includes access to online LiveGraphs -- a suite of interactive, animated graphs that allows you to view dimensional graphs and functions illustrated in the book, as well as some additional graphs that are not in the printed text. LiveGraphs and the Study Guide are accessible through the access code that is included with the purchase of a new text.

Review:

"I would certainly adopt the [Nechyba] text. In fact there is a good argument to be made that it is an ideal text for my course . . . I like the emphasis on 'basic theory' and the clear exposition thereof." "I would consider adopting this textbook for my sections of intermediate microeconomics and the main reasons for my interest are the high quality of the chapter content and the unique supporting materials."
