Microeconomic Analysis (Third Edition) | |
Microeconomic Analysis has been a fixture of graduate programs in economics for fifteen years, providing unique authority, clarity, and breadth of coverage.
The Third Edition continues to supply the building blocks of microeconomic analysis: a thorough treatment of optimization and equilibrium methods, coupled with numerous examples of their application. The Third Edition expands on the earlier editions in two ways. First, the coverage has been rewritten and rearranged. Second, chapters have been added on game theory, oligopoly, asset markets, and information economics. The new chapters fully update the text, highlighting significant developments of the last decade at a level that is accessible for first-year graduate students. 作者简介Hal R. Varian is the chief economist at Google.
网友对Microeconomic Analysis (Third Edition)的评论
This book is very well written. Many concepts are clearly communicated. However, it doesn't go very deep technically. It's not as rigorous as other texts, but it is more approachable. I would recommend its use in conjunction with other texts. So start with this as a primer on each topic, and then use another text to go deeper once you are comfortable with the premise.
Also, the solution manual is just terrible. It's just that, solutions. No clues as to the intuition behind a problem, or even where to start solving it. Other texts solution manuals provide a walkthough of each problem. Not this one, if you're wrong on a problem, I hope you like staring helplessly at the text just as lost as before, but now knowing for sure you did the problem wrong.
I have read three graduate level Microeconomic Thoery texts: Mas-Colell, et al. Microeconomic Theory, Varian's Microeconomic Analysis, and Krep's A Course in Microeconomic Theory.
Mas-Colell is generally the most detailed, inclusive book that must be on the shelf of any serious economist. It has its weak points; however, it is the best that there is for learning the microeconomic theory. Note that this book is generally the text of choice for the first year of graduate study at most all of the top econ programs.
The math requirements for getting the most out of this book are fairly heavy. With out a good math for economists course, this book is very difficult to use.
Kreps book takes on more of the game theory approach. This is very interesting for the game/decision theorist, and is a highly recommended in addition to Mas-Colell for those with these interests.
Varian is often used in masters degree level graduate programs, non-econ graduate programs, and lower-level econ phd programs.
It is not as intense as Mas-Colell. However, it is often very helpful in its own right. For students who are using Mas-Colell in their courses, but are struggling to grasp all of the concepts, Varian presents the information in a more "user-friendly" way. He spends more time explaining the concepts using english rather than math, which can be very helpful to someone just starting out.
At Cornell, Varian was helpful during the first semester of my microeconomic theory course, but provided virtually no help after that.
Additionally, I found the practice problems and examples in Varian very helpful when studying for exams.
In summary, all serious economists usually have Mas-Colell. Other than that, choose your additional books based on your needs and interests.
This book is not the original copy but contains all material and same page numbering like the original textbook. I feel unconfortable taking it to class because it looks like a pirated textbook. The cover is different from what you see on the advertised picture.
Good can't companion to Mas-Colell
Not as in depth as some micro textbooks but very useful nonetheless.
