Product Description
Students need to learn two skills in this course: they need to master the requisite micro theory, and at the same time develop their problem-solving skills. Microeconomics has become a market leader because Perloff presents theory in the context of real, data-driven examples, and then develops intuition through his hallmark Solved Problems. Students gain a practice perspective, seeing how models connect to real-world decisions being made in today’s firms and policy debates.
Introduction. Supply and Demand: Supply and Demand; Applying the Supply-and-Demand Model. Consumer Theory: Consumer Choice; Applying Consumer Theory. Theory of the Firm: Firms and Production; Costs. Perfect Competition: Competitive Firms and Markets; Applying the Competitive Model; General Equilibrium and Economic Welfare. Market Power and Market Structure: Monopoly; Pricing and Advertising; Oligopoly and Monopolistic Competition; Game Theory. Factor Markets: Factor Markets and Vertical Integration; Interest Rates, Investments, and Capital Markets. Uncertainty, Missing Markets, and Limited Information: Uncertainty; Externalities, Commons, and Public Goods; Asymmetric Information; Contracts and Moral Hazards.
For all readers interested in algebra-based intermediate microeconomics.

This book is hilarious at times, I mean, it teaches economics well also. But the best part is the dry, witty humor characteristic of Perloff himself...took a seminar with the guy, he ruleeeez, with a "z."
 easy to understand and entertaining to read too. June 6, 2005

the author explains the graphs quite well in his textbook. all the examples are interesting and relate to real life. i've had the honor of having the author as a sub for our regular lecturer for a week at UC Berkeley. his book's just like his lectures, very entertaning and does not bore me to sleep.
but the book does not help with the difficult tests given since it only covers the basics, one needs to do the problems in the study guide in order to really apply the concepts.
