Lectures on Core Microeconomics by Bharat R. Hazari,Cheuk-Yin Ho Pdf

These notes are based on the microeconomics lectures delivered in the Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE) programme at the City University of Hong Kong. They have been delivered in the fall Semesters of 2005- 2007. The lectures are delivered over a period of thirteen weeks (three hours per week). One should always remember the time constraint involved in delivering lectures. Everything can not be covered; therefore one has to be selective in what is taught. This is the reason for calling these lectures core microeconomics. The topics selected and taught reflect our perceptions and value judgement about core topics in microeconomics. Also the students in this class at the City University of Hong Kong come from a very heterogeneous background which varies a lot; medicine, law, mathematics, engineering, physics, biology, and of course economics. The course is designed to teach all these heterogeneous students important topics in microeconomics in a span of thirteen weeks. This is a tough task and many of these students are very ambitious and desirous of doing graduate studies in Europe, Canada, and the US. The feedback on this course has been extremely good from students who are pursuing graduate studies in Britain and the US. These are lecture notes that vary in level at which different topics are taught and also the depth at which these topics are covered. They should not be taken as a substitute for a textbook but as an aid for reading other textbooks.

Lectures on Microeconomics by Romans Pancs Pdf

Economic concepts and techniques presented through a series of "big questions," models that show how to pose a questions rigorously and work toward an answer. This book helps readers master economic concepts and techniques by tackling fundamental economic and political questions through a series of models. It is organized around a sequence of “big questions,” among them: When do markets help translate individuals' uncoordinated, selfish actions into outcomes that are best for all? Do markets change people, and, if so, for worse or better? Translated into the language of modern economics, do Marx's ideas have merit? Why is there so much income inequality? Or is there too little? The arguments are in the theorem-proof format, distinguishing results derived in the context of fully specified models from educated speculation. Readers will learn how to pose a question rigorously and how to work toward an answer, and to appreciate that even (especially!) the broadest and most ambitious questions call for a model. The goal of the book is not to indoctrinate but to show readers how to reason toward their own conclusions. The first chapter, on the Walrasian model of general equilibrium, serves as the prerequisite for the rest of the book. The remaining chapters cover less conventional topics, including the morality of markets; matching theory; Marxism, socialism, and the resilience of markets; a formalization of Kant's categorical imperative; unintended consequences of policy design; and theories of justice. The book can be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or graduate students or as a resource for researchers in disciplines that draw on normative economics.

Microeconomics for Business and Marketing by Peter E. Earl Pdf

This text, which is designed for intermediate-level students of microeconomics, offers a series of alternative approaches to economic analysis. It emphasizes practical problem-solving, making it relevant to students of business and commerce. As well as neoclassical microeconomics, it seeks to promote an awareness of different approaches, including the application of behavioural-institutionalist economics to real world problems. Rather than emphasizing technical set pieces, this book offers students a range of approaches such as behavioural theories of consumer choice and institutionalist analysis of the economics.

Lectures In The Microeconomics Of Choice: Foundations, Consumers, And Producers by William David Anthony Bryant Pdf

People pursue their own interests, whatever those interests might be. Some people have interests that are narrow and selfish, while others have interests that are broad and altruistic. The idea that people are self-interested underpins all of economic analysis and raises two fundamental questions: 1. How do people choose the actions they think will further their own interests? 2. Can the potentially conflicting interests of different people be made to 'mesh' in some sort of socio-economic equilibrium? This book is devoted to a detailed study of the first question. Its Companion Volume (Economy-Wide Microeconomics: Equilibrium, Optimality, Applications and Tests) makes a detailed study of the second question.Following some foundational remarks, this book studies the Arrow-Debreu theory of consumer choice. That theory supposes people choose so as to maximize a complete, continuous, transitive, and reflexive binary preference relation over a non-empty and compact choice set. The book then studies numerous refinements, generalizations and extensions of each of these restrictions — up to and including recent work on Behavioral theories of choice and choice behaviour when preferences are intransitive/incomplete/discontinuous. Also considered is choice behaviour in environments that are not necessarily compact. A study is also made of intertemporal choice and choice under uncertainty. The study of Arrow-Debreu choice theory and its extensions are presented from the Primal, Dual, and Revealed Preference points of view.Consumers are not the only agents in the economy, as Producers are present as well. Beginning with a study of the Arrow-Debreu idea that producers choose from a convex production set so as to maximize profit, the book considers extensions and generalizations of this framework, particularly to non-convex environments. The study is presented from the Primal and Dual points of view.The final chapter in the book provides a link to its Companion Volume. The Chapter indicates how the theories of consumer and producer choice studied here help inform answers of the second question posed above.Resources are available to instructors who adopt this book.
