Microeconomic Theory Hardcover – 15 Jun. 1995

I used this for studying masters and phd level micro theory classes and found it to be the best text book among the ones on offer. In particular the sections on adverse selection, moral hazard and mechanism design are very easy to follow with a good combination of diagrams, mathematical proofs and written explanations.

The cover is not the same, but the content is page by page exactly the same.

It is what I expected to be

The book was delivered in perfect conditions and on time. As it was new it is in perfect conditions. I am totally satisfied

I've resisted buying this book as it seems unnecessarily technical for all but the most dedicated mathematical economists at a post-graduate level. However, it does cover a lot of material thoroughly and I often use it as a reference, although I wouldn't recommend it as a main textbook in a course. Also, it is now somewhat outdated with very little coverage of interesting areas in microeconomic theory such as behavioral models.Someone should write an alternative textbook aimed at this level! Other available books (such as Rubinstein, Jehle and Reny, or Gravelle and Rees) although better written and more easily approachable, are not nearly as complete.

The bible.

It's a new book and the delivery was fast and easy too.

It's generally clear and easy to understand, however, at times it goes off the deep end, particularity when it starts with the maths.Brush up on your pure maths skills before starting.Answers to the questions would be great. In addition, some indication of how to start the questions would be helpful - most of them seem unconnected to the chapter they're in, requiring random knowledge of prior maths and economics.
