  Stressing both intuition and analytical precision, this classic text uses a calculus-based approach to present complete, up-to-date coverage of all key microeconomic topics. The seventh edition is suitable for use in a more rigorous first intermediate microeconomics course or in a first-year graduate course. Features: * The use of calculus as an analytical tool stresses analytical precision as well as logic and intuition. * An early introduction to efficiency concepts and their relation to competitive markets helps clarify the discussion of imperfect markets that follows. * The integration of modern theories of information throughout the text includes a complete chapter on information and competitive equilibrium. * Outstanding coverage includes such chapters as Demand Relationships between Goods (Chapter 6) and Game Theory Models of Imperfect Competition (Chapter 20). * Numerous solved numerical examples are integrated throughout to give students a clear understanding of theory and prepare them for the end-of-chapter problems. Extensive end-of-chapter problems are divided into basic Problems that apply chapter concepts and Extensions that incorporate additional theory using empirical evidence. This organization presents easier, mathematical problems before engaging students with more theoretical, analytical ones. New to this edition: * More game theory has been incorporated in Chapters 10 and 20. * Extensions which take the theory and apply it have been expanded, giving more depth and details. * Chapters 8 and 9 on uncertainty have been heavily revised to make them easier to understand and to sharpen and clarify analysis. * 50% of the material on Externalities (environmental issues) in Chapter 24 has been reworked. * The author has made a serious effort to sharpen and clarify the discussions of theory.

  Offering the most cutting-edge coverage available, the 10th edition of the market-leading MICROECONOMIC THEORY: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND EXTENSIONS, INTERNATIONAL EDITION delivers a text that is rigorous yet accessible, accurate in theory yet practical in application, thorough yet concise. Now at a more succinct 19 chapters, this tried-and-true, widely popular text is known as the bible of microeconomics, offering the most clear and accurate presentation of advanced microeconomic concepts. For the new edition, proven author and economic authority Walter Nicholson is joined by new co-author Chris Snyder, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College. These highly respected economists draw from their wealth of experience in the classroom and the marketplace, giving the book a practical, real-world perspective. Taking a calculus-based approach, MICROECONOMIC THEORY provides an ideal level of mathematical rigor for upper level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Extremely reader-friendly, the book is designed to help students truly understand and apply economic models as it enables them to work directly with theoretical tools, real-world applications, and the latest developments in the study of microeconomics. Insightful graphic presentations help visual learners see the connections between the calculus and the algebra/geometry of the same material. In addition, end-of-chapter problems are now presented in two tiers: Simple numerical/mathematical exercises, which build student intuition, are followed by more analytical, theoretical, and complex problems. Unlike other, more theoretical texts, MICROECONOMIC THEORY presents theory in an accessible way as well as illustrates how it applies in the real world.
