Opis

Microeconomic Theory is a modern treatment of the neoclassical paradigm which is essential for understanding microeconomics. The author has carefully applied this theory in a non-mathematical and intuitive way. The special features include: * emphasis on the nature of the neoclassical paradigm * introduction to game theory * minimal mathematical content * intuitive exercises and examples * written in a concise format This book is one of the more simple yet focused texts available for Microeconomic theory. It is geared for first year graduate students of economics.

Blurb

This text is a self–contained, essential profile of the neoclassical paradigm that is important in understanding the relevance and limits of microeconomic theory. Microeconomic Theory also uniquely describes the recent extensions, in particular the economics of uncertainty and the economics of information. It is intended for students of economics, who, whilst choosing their specialized fields, theoretical or applied, want to solidify their microeconomic theory and game theory.
