SYNOPSIS

This text emphasizes the conceptual foundations of microeconomics and provides concrete examples of their application while keeping mathematics to a minimum (chapter appendices cover calculus methods). Chapters have been kept short to facilitate reading at one sitting, and discuss consumer theory followed by producer theory, with more emphasis on consumer theory. This sixth edition contains a new chapter on applications of game theory, and expands coverage of economic models of information networks, and of rights management for information goods. Varian is dean of the School of Information Management and Systems at the University of California-Berkeley. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
