Microeconomic Theory Hardcover – Jun 1 1995

Review

"Clear, comprehensive, and deep! The authors' treatment is both contemporary and probing, covering all aspects of modern microeconomic theory at a level accessible to graduate students, and which goes beyond simple statement of results to underscore the underlying intuition. This text should be a standard for graduate study in microeconomics!"--Lars Stole, University of Chicago

"An excellent, comprehensive text."--Michael Jerison, SUNY at Albany

"Broader and deeper than any graduate microeconomics textbook I know."--Rajeev Dehejia, Harvard

"Outstanding! The choice of topics, coverage, and degree of sophistication is perfect for a first-year graduate theory sequence."--Glenn MacDonald, W.E. Simm Graduate School of Business

"Extremely helpful as a teaching aid in a first year graduate theory course. It covers a great deal of material, motivating the material with informal discussion yet presenting it compactly and rigorously, with illuminating diagrams and formal examples. There is also a wealth of interesting homework problems."--Truman F. Bewley, Yale University

"Excellent text! The scope of the book is vast, including numerous applied topics, noncooperative and cooperative game theory, and an outstanding presentation of general equilibrium theory. It is rigorous, well written, and sparklingly clear. The problems at the end of each chapter typically begin with straightforward exercises and progress to exercises that will challenge the best students."--Myrna Wooders, University of Toronto

"An encyclopaedic text which provides an authoritative treatment of classical microeconomic theory and of key modern developments. Noteworthy features include an excellent discussion of information economics, a superb introduction to game theory, and the most detailed textbook account of static and dynamic general equilibrium theory currently available. The text will be a boon to graduate students of economics and their teachers."--Dilip Abreu, Princeton University

"Presents a rigorous treatment of microeconomic theory at the graduate level. For students with an adequate background, the text is a lucid step beyond the conventional 'Samuelson's Foundations' style treatment. It is thorough, rich, and well exposited."--Steven M. Goldman, University of California at Berkeley

"This book provides the most comprehensive and extensive guidance to microeconomic theory, particularly for first- or second-year graduate students."--Sang Lee, University of Florida

"Sets the standard by which all graduate micro texts must be judged."--David Nickerson, American University
