About this title

Synopsis:

"Else and Curwin make an effort to keep the student in touch with recent developments by including such topics as bargaining, search, contestable markets and voting behaviour...it will certainly appeal to those who wish to keep economy theory accessible to as wide a range of students as possible." - Times Higher Education Supplement This clear, concise introduction to intermediate microeconomics is essential reading for students with previous knowledge of economic principles. Geared to the standard year's course in universities and polytechnics, the treatment in this text reinforces the student's understanding of familiar topics and facilitates assimilation of new material. Key features include * chapters are carefully structured around a programme of lectures * the text encourages comfortably paced learning * repetition of first-year material is minimal * reviews of background information are included * simple diagrams gradually lead to more complete presentations to aid comprehension * judicious use of mathematics augments diagrams However, mathematical analysis does not detract from the discussion of theory--a distinct quality of the approach adopted in this text.

The authors succeed not only in conveying this complicated subject clearly, but also display a keen understanding of the pressured and demanding needs of students.
