Microeconomics

‘This is an ideal microeconomics textbook for students who have a solid grounding in micro at the intermediate level. It contains the first and only integrated treatment of general equilibrium and input-output analysis.” - Marcus Berliant, Washington University in St. Louis, US ‘Microeconomics: Equilibrium and Efficiency is written on the premise that students should be able to take microeconomic theory to the data. Professor ten Raa has succeeded in writing a lucid text that shows the wide applicability of standard theory and its normative implications for a more efficient organization of real world economies.’ - Fred Schroyen, Norwegian School of Economics, Bergen, Norway ‘This innovative text marries advanced neo-classical theories of general equilibrium with applied approaches to measurement of economic activity. It teaches students a valuable and solid foundation for applying economic insights to understand trade and economic policy in our global economy.’ - Robert P. Gilles, Queen’s University Management School, Belfast, UK ‘Ten Raa’s book markedly stands out among the usual micro textbooks. Coherent, well written, rigorous and sharp, with a clear focus, this book will give students an excellent sense for the nature and performance of the market economy.’ - Joop Hartog, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands
