Description and Table of Contents

Description

Formerly entitled "Modern Price Theory", this intermediate text offers a contemporary survey of microeconomic foundations. In addition to traditional topics, the book covers many high-interest topics of current concern such as information economics, Shepherd's lemma, screening, moral hazard and adverse selection. The book assumes no knowledge of calculus - footnotes explain the various points raised - with material on game theory expanded to include sequential decision. This book is designed to be of interest to second and third year undergraduates.
