Reviews
  • '"A highly accessible text for modern microeconomics."' - Dr Ajit Mishra, University of Dundee
  • '"Easy to follow and allows the reader to quickly get into an economist's way of arguing."' - Dr Dan Anderberg, Royal Holloway College, University of London
  • '"Contains many examples that are very well developed from the analytical point of view and cover a wide range of issues."' - Professor Agostini Manduchi, Jonkoping International Business School

Description
  • Places an emphasis on developing the basic principles of microeconomics.
  • Takes a structured learning approach that re-uses key principles after they have been covered.
  • Uses problem solving as a teaching device.
Microeconomics develops core microeconomic principles to a high level using a clear and carefully constructed learning framework. The book will give readers a solid foundation in microeconomic analysis, using mathematical techniques where appropriate, and will enable them to apply these analytical techniques to a range of economic problems.

It compounds the student's understanding of principles and techniques by re-using them throughout the text after each has been covered. The book is designed to assist the student's learning in every way possible and contains comprehensive sets of problems and exercises at all stages.
