Russell Cooper and Andrew John have written an economics text aimed directly at students from its very inception. You?re thinking, "Yeah, sure. I?ve heard that before." This textbook, Economics: Theory Through Applications, centers around student needs and expectations through two premises:? Students are motivated to study economics if they see that it relates to their own lives.? Students learn best from an inductive approach, in which they are first confronted with a problem, and then led through the process of solving that problem. Many books claim to present economics in a way that is digestible for students; Russell and Andrew have truly created one from scratch. This textbook will assist you in increasing students? economic literacy both by developing their aptitude for economic thinking and by presenting key insights about economics that every educated individual should know. How? Russell and Andrew have done three things in this text to accomplish that goal: Applications Ahead of Theory: They present all the theory that is standard in Principles books. But by beginning with applications, students get to learn why this theory is needed. Learning through Repetition: Important tools appear over and over again, allowing students to learn from repetition and to see how one framework can be useful in many different contexts. A Student?s Table of Contents vs. An Instructor?s Table of Contents: There is no further proof that Russell and Andrew have created a book aimed specifically at educating students about economics than their two tables of contents.

This book presents a scientific and systematic development of the under-lying concepts of microeconomics with due emphasis on analytical and mathematical treatment, much needed for an application orientation of mind, to help students in understanding and tackling the real-world problems. The book is organized into nine chapters. The first chapter is devoted to price-output decisions of a monopoly. It provides a comprehensive account of these decisions under all their manifestations in a systematic manner with illustrative sketches and mathematical explanations. Chapters 2 to 4, devoted to imperfect markets, cover monopolistic competition, duopoly and oligopoly under different situations of product pricing and quantity determination. The analysis is systematic incorporating illustrative sketches and mathematical explanations. Chapter 4 presents the sales maximization models of Baumol. Chapter 5 is devoted to factor pricing and Chapter 6 to capital and investment decisions. The former focuses on pricing of variable and fixed factors of production while the latter on intertemporal analysis and choice under uncertainty. Chapters 7 to 9, devoted to general equilibrium and market failure, analyse topics on general equilibrium and Pareto efficiency, markets with asymmetric information and externalities and public goods. This title includes: over 145 neatly drawn figures to clarify the concepts; chapter-end summaries as 'key terms and concepts' to facilitate quick revision; over 410 chapter-end short and long answer questions of numerical and analytical nature with hints, and answers as appropriate to probe the student's assimilation of the material covered; and, numerous illustrative examples throughout the text to illustrate the application of concepts.

This book introduces the main concepts of microeconomics to students who have undergone at least one elementary calculus course. It fully integrates graphical and mathematical concepts and offers analytical examples demonstrating numerical solutions. The book has a strong theoretical basis but shows how microeconomics can be brought to bear on the real world. New Features for this edition include: An incorporation of the theory of stock externalities associated with greenhouse gases ; Development of the section on insurance with particular reference to the new US healthcare program ; greater integration of game theoretic concepts throughout the book. The book's style is accessible, but also rigorous. Mathematical examples are provided throughout the book, in particular for key concepts and the result is a balanced approach in terms of prose, graphics, and mathematics.

The concept of Microeconomics revolves around the behaviour of market. The answers of questions such as, how prices are determined and what leads to change in the prices so determined provide the subject matter of microeconomics. This book is an effort to bring together all the related topics in a careful manner. The book provides an extensive approach towards the concepts of demand and supply, product pricing, elasticity of demand and supply, marginal utility, etc. The book is divided into twelve chapters. It has been developed keeping in view the requirements of graduate level students, as the book covers the syllabus of microeconomics, as prescribed for the BCom (Hons) I year course of the University of Delhi. The book is written with the objective to supplement the classroom teaching. It has been written in a manner as if lectures are being delivered. Given at the end of each chapter are the University examination questions, with solutions to the numerical questions at the end of the book. The book would prove to be equally useful for all microeconomics courses at the graduation level across all the universities in India.

Models in Microeconomic Theory covers basic models in current microeconomic theory. Part I (Chapters 1-7) presents models of an economic agent, discussing abstract models of preferences, choice, and decision making under uncertainty, before turning to models of the consumer, the producer, and monopoly. Part II (Chapters 8-14) introduces the concept of equilibrium, beginning, unconventionally, with the models of the jungle and an economy with indivisible goods, and continuing with models of an exchange economy, equilibrium with rational expectations, and an economy with asymmetric information. Part III (Chapters 15-16) provides an introduction to game theory, covering strategic and extensive games and the concepts of Nash equilibrium and subgame perfect equilibrium. Part IV (Chapters 17-20) gives a taste of the topics of mechanism design, matching, the axiomatic analysis of economic systems, and social choice. The book focuses on the concepts of model and equilibrium. It states models and results precisely, and provides proofs for all results. It uses only elementary mathematics (with almost no calculus), although many of the proofs involve sustained logical arguments. It includes about 150 exercises. With its formal but accessible style, this textbook is designed for undergraduate students of microeconomics at intermediate and advanced levels.

An introduction to advanced topics in microeconomics that emphasizes the intuition behind assumptions and results, providing examples that show how to apply theory to practice. This textbook offers an introduction to advanced microeconomic theory that emphasizes the intuition behind mathematical assumptions, providing step-by-step examples that show how to apply theoretical models. It covers standard topics such as preference relations, demand theory and applications, producer theory, choice under uncertainty, partial and general equilibrium, monopoly, game theory and imperfect competition, externalities and public goods, and contract theory; but its intuitive and application-oriented approach provides students with a bridge to more technical topics. The book can be used by advanced undergraduates as well as Masters students in economics, finance, and public policy, and by PhD students in programs with an applied focus. The text connects each topic with recent findings in behavioral and experimental economics, and discusses these results in context, within the appropriate chapter. Step-by-step examples appear immediately after the main theoretical findings, and end-of chapter exercises help students understand how to approach similar exercises on their own. An appendix reviews basic mathematical concepts. A separate workbook, Practice Exercises for Advanced Microeconomic Theory, offers solutions to selected problems with detailed explanations. The textbook and workbook together help students improve both their theoretical and practical preparation in advanced microeconomics.
