Microeconomics and Behaviour

Microeconomics and Behaviour, third edition, is an accessible yet intellectually challenging and engaging textbook for students. It develops core analytical and technical tools and embeds them in a collection of real-world examples and applications to illuminate the power and versatility of the economic way of thinking. With this approach, students develop economic intuition and are stimulated to think more deeply about the technical tools they learn, and to find more interesting ways to apply them. This enables students to not just understand microeconomics, but to think like economists themselves, and to develop a lasting interest in the discipline. Key Features .
