Jeffrey M. Perloff Bücher

This text presents a practical perspective on microeconomic theory for students. Real-world examples are integrated throughout the text, and the author's use of modern theories to analyze actual markets, and a clear, step-by-step approach to problem-solving aims to motivate and challenge students, and help them better understand how microeconomic theory is used to resolve problems and analyze policy issues. Game theory is integrated throughout the second half of the text, rather than in one isolated chapter.

This text uses calculus, algebra, and graphs to present microeconomic theory using actual examples, and then encourages students to apply the theory to analyse real-world problems. This 2nd edition has been substantially updated and revised, and is now offered with MyEconLab.

Designed for intermediate microeconomics courses, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of economic theory and application. It emphasizes critical concepts such as consumer behavior, market structures, and game theory, equipping students with the analytical tools needed to understand complex economic scenarios. Clear explanations and real-world examples enhance learning, making it suitable for both classroom use and independent study. The text aims to deepen students' understanding of microeconomic principles and their relevance in various contexts.

Professors teaching this course have two concurrent goals: to teach the microeconomic tools students need for future coursework and careers, and to encourage students to work problems. In Microeconomics: Theory and Applications with Calculus, Perloff brings his hallmark pedagogy to the calculus-based course by integrating Solved Problems and real, data-driven applications in every chapter. This new text offers a serious presentation of calculus-based microeconomic theory and offers a suite of carefully crafted, calculus-based problem sets at the end of each chapter. Microeconomics: Theory and Applications with Calculus covers basic and modern theories first, and then offers advanced theory chapters at the end. By providing graphical representation and real-world applications to illustrate the theory, Perloff demonstrates how individuals, policy makers, and firms use microeconomic tools to analyze and resolve problems. Perloff's algebra-based Microeconomics, now in its Fourth Edition, has become a market leader because it clearly introduces theory and helps students develop problem-solving skills through its Solved Problem feature.
