Microeconomics
We seem to be able to produce a new edition of this book every eleven years or so. This is undoubtedly not an optimal interval from the point of view of maximizing sales revenue, but it is an interesting one over which to observe the changes in microeconomic theory and in the way it is taught. In the time that elapsed between the first and second editions, the increasing emphasis on game theory and the economics of uncertainty and asymmetric information, at the expense of the more traditional topics in consumption, production and general equilibrium theory, was quite marked. That tendency has strengthened over the period since the second edition appeared, and this is reflected in the content and organization of this third edition. We have added a new chapter on game theory, and have considerably extended and restructured the chapters on uncertainty and asymmetric information. In order to keep the length of the book within reasonable bounds, we have deleted some material that we thought was unlikely these days to be covered in an advanced microeconomics course, and replaced the chapter on the mathematics of optimization by a number of shorter appendices. In addition, the discussions of the literature and suggestions for further reading previously at the end of each chapter have been gathered into a set of notes at the end of the book, which has not only saved space but, we hope, has allowed us to improve them. The aims and approach of the book have remained the same. We have tried to provide a comprehensive exposition of modern microeconomic theory, beginning at the intermediate level and ending at an appropriate level for graduate students. We aim to cover the ground between the standard intermediate micro course, taught largely in two dimensions with little explicit use of mathematics, and the advanced doctoral course. This book is meant to fit between, say, Hal Varian?s excellent Intermediate Microeconomics, and Mas-Colell, Whinston and Green?s magisterial Microeconomic Theory. We have again placed major emphasis on trying to give the student an intuitive understanding of the economic content of the models, and of their purpose and nature, as well as a clear account of their mathematics. We are very grateful to the many users of this book, students as well as teachers, who have over the years sent us corrections and suggestions for improvement. We would like particularly to thank Patricia Apps and Klaus Schmidt, who have commented in depth on some of the new material we have prepared for this edition. We are also grateful to Paula Harris of Pearson Education for her good-natured stoicism in the face of missed deadlines, and for her encouragement finally to finish this book.
