| Summary, etc |
Overview<br/>The exciting new ninth edition of PRICE THEORY AND APPLICATIONS delivers a text that will both challenge and intrigue students as it equips them with the tools and skills to apply economic principles to the world around them. Inductive, hands on, and highly interactive, the book is intellectually rigorous yet student-friendly, with countless applications and resources to help readers fully understand concepts. Using the same humorous, easy-to-read approach as his popular The Armchair Economist, Steven Landsburg offers thorough coverage of traditional topics of intermediate price theory as well as emerging issues, such as the economics of information. Social welfare is a unifying concept throughout. Available with InfoTrac® Student Collections http://gocengage.com/infotrac.<br/>Features and Benefits<br/>Extensive sections are devoted to topics excluded from many standard intermediate textbooks, such as alternative normative criteria, efficient asset markets, contestable markets, antitrust law, mechanisms for eliciting private information regarding demand for public goods, human capital, increasing returns in economic growth, the Capital Asset Pricing Model, and the pricing of stock options.<br/>This text contains an extended analysis of market failures, property rights, and rules of law (Chapter 13), including a detailed development of market failure using a series of extended examples as well as actual court cases. It also covers various legal theories from the point of view of economic efficiency.<br/>Price Theory includes an excellent assortment of both fictional and real-world examples. Many examples and exercises are based on fictional organizations. This encourages students to focus on the economic principle, application, and problem involved rather than the mechanics of a particular company. For instructors who prefer real-life situations, the seventh edition also includes 20 new real-world business examples, giving students an up-close view of microeconomics in the context of actual organizations.<br/>The cutting-edge ninth edition thoroughly develops the standard topics of intermediate price theory as well as such innovative topics as the economics of information, alternative normative criteria, efficient asset markets, contestable markets, antitrust law, human capital, and the demand for public goods. It also uses the timely topic of social welfare as a unifying concept throughout.<br/>The microeconomic relationship to macroeconomics is illustrated throughout the text. Several purely "micro" topics are illustrated with "macro" applications, such as information, intemporal decision making, labor markets in general equilibrium, and rational expectations. The chapter on interest rates contains a purely microeconomic analysis of the effects of federal deficits.<br/>- See more at: http://www.cengage.com/search/productOverview.do?Ntt=price+theory+and+applications|62275719612498866451388688262802074913&N=16&Ntk=APG%7CP_EPI&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial#sthash.zWRu71jR.dpuf |
