Offering the most cutting-edge coverage available, the 10th edition of the market-leading MICROECONOMIC THEORY: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND EXTENSIONS delivers a text that is rigorous yet accessible, accurate in theory yet practical in application, thorough yet concise. Now at a more succinct 19 chapters, this tried-and-true, widely popular text is known as the "bible of microeconomics," offering the most clear and accurate presentation of advanced microeconomic concepts. For the new edition, proven author and economic authority Walter Nicholson is joined by new co-author Chris Snyder, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College. These highly respected economists draw from their wealth of experience in the classroom and the marketplace, giving the book a practical, real-world perspective. Taking a calculus-based approach, MICROECONOMIC THEORY provides an ideal level of mathematical rigor for upper level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Extremely reader-friendly, the book is designed to help students truly understand and apply economic models as it enables them to work directly with theoretical tools, real-world applications, and the latest developments in the study of microeconomics. Insightful graphic presentations help visual learners see the connections between the calculus and the algebra/geometry of the same material. In addition, end-of-chapter problems are now presented in two tiers: Simple numerical/mathematical exercises, which build student intuition, are followed by more analytical, theoretical, and complex problems. Unlike other, more theoretical texts, MICROECONOMIC THEORY presents theory in an accessible way as well as illustrates how it applies in the real world.
New Sep 2007 Edition Major Revisions... VERY NICE
| Customer Rating: | This was a good book before. Now it is far better. New co-author Chris Snyder has apparently given a new once-over of this entire text, injecting new life to the portrayal of certain chapters. Book is beautiful in appearance, and printed on very nice paper. I agree with other reviewers as to the clarity, prioritization and calm mastery over the material that makes this book a pleasure to use, as a student.
From the Preface, "New to the 10th Edition" (2007):
"Three entirely new chapters written by Chris Snyder:
* an extended and more advanced treatment of basic game theory concepts (Chapter 8);
* a thoroughly reworked and expanded chapter on models used in industrial organization theory (Chapter 15); and
* a completely new chapter on asymmetric information that focuses on the principal-agent problem and modern contract theory (Chapter 18). ...
Several other "major revisions" :
* A significant amount of material was added to the chapter on mathematical background (Chapter 2): integration, basic models of mathematical optimization, brief introduction to mathematical statistics;
* Chapter 7, on uncertainty and risk aversion, thoroughly revised;
* Much of the theory of the firm, especially of the firm's demands for inputs, has been expanded (Chapters 9-11);
* The chapter on general equilibrium modeling (Chapter 13) has been thoroughly reworked with the goal of providing students with more details about how computable general equilibrium models actually work.
* The chapter on capital and time (Chapter 17) has been significantly expanded to include more on optimal saving b ehaior and on resource allocation over time."

Very good intermediate book
| Customer Rating:  | | It is very good textbook to learn microeconomics with intuitions and methodology. But, some people are comparing this book with Mas Colell. Nonsense! Mas Colell is a PhD level, pretty technical, "heavy duty" book. This book is an intermediate level book for senior undergrads or master students. On the other hand, Binger&Hofmann's Microeconomics with Calculus book is better then this, in my opinion. It has less story more information. This book spends lots of lines to explain some small points which is boring for someone who should know these stories before starting graduate studies. But it is more comprehensive than baby Varian. Some departments are using Pyndick's book, but I didn't use it. I believe that Binger&Hofmann is the best in this category if you wanna learn Microeconomics using mathematical tools. |
Very Good Overview of Micro Theory
| Customer Rating: | | After using this book for a math-intensive micro theory course, I would heartily recommend Nicholson's text, which is written clearly with relevant examples and straightforward, useful problems at the end of each chapter. The book is very math-intense and requires a good knowlege of multivariable calculus, but since the reader is probably buying this book for a class, he or she most likely already has the mathematics background necessary. Thumbs up. |
Pretty good book.
| Customer Rating: | | the shipping was alright.. the book is new and pretty good. happy with it overall..=) |
Not such an easy read
| Customer Rating: | | Okay book, not the best read, but better than the Mas-Collel green books. This book gives a lot of info on theory but I thought it lacked wrt practical (applied examples). Used for a graduate level course in Micro Econ. My particular course is very hard (this class serves both graduate and PhD Finance students) so needless to say, I am ordering the workbook to help me survive! |
