This second edition of Microeconomics is filled with learning-by-doing problems that give students a chance to make economics their own. These fully worked-out problems provide a step-by-step road map to help students solve numerical problems. Each problem correlates to similar practice problems at the end of each chapter. In addition, the authors include many extensive real-world examples in the text. These examples are contemporary applications of the theory and are longer and more extensive to show the evolution of the example. Each chapter opens with an example to draw readers into the topic. Learning-by-Doing problems show you how it’s done. Each chapter features a number of worked examples that provide a step-by-step roadmap for setting up and solving numerical problems. Each Learning-by-Doing problem correlates to similar practice problems at the end of the chapter. End-of-chapter problems provide many opportunities to practice. This Second Edition features many new problems (for a total of 20-25 problems per chapter). The problems range in level from easy to challenging and allow you to see the same topic from multiple angles. Fully worked solutions to a selection of these problems are included at the end of the text. Extensive real-world applications make microeconomics relevant. This edition features more than 100 applications throughout the book. These contemporary applications are all drawn from current events or recent microeconomics research, and make the abstract theory come alive.
