Micro Markets : A Market Structure Approach to Microeconomic Analysis

A companion Workbook to the text Micro Markets

Understanding how microeconomics affects the marketplace is essential for any investment professional, however most books simply address microeconomics in its pure theory-based form. Micro Markets helped bridge the gap between theory and practice by defining microeconomics in terms of real-world, market applications.

Now, the Micro Markets Workbook offers you a chance to review the information found in the actual book and solidify your understanding of this discipline. In this study guide, microeconomic concepts are fully reviewed, along with how all of its relevant theory is applicable to today's markets.

• Helps you learn to perform dynamic microeconomic analysis in practice
• Tests your knowledge of the information addressed in Micro Markets, before you put it to work in real world situations
• Provides solutions to each chapter of the main book's practice problems

If you want to gain a firm understanding of the information outlined in Micro Markets, the lessons within this Workbook can help you achieve this goal.
