A course in Microeconomics

Assorted links;

Microeconomics (working title), T. Nechyba, South Western/Thomson, 2008 (expected publication)- draft chapters, treatment very good

Intermediate Applied Microeconomics, MIT
Text book used is Microeconomic Theory: Concepts and Connections
To referesh maths see their backgrounder

14.04 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory, Fall 2003
Varian, Hal R. Microeconomic Analysis

14.121 Microeconomic Theory I, Fall 2005
Mas-Colell, Andreu, Michael Whinston, and Jerry Green. Microeconomic Theory. This is the recommended text
Jehle, Geoffrey, and Philip Reny. Advanced Microeconomic Theory.
This book is more readable
Kreps, David. A Course in Microeconomic Theory. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, .
This text provides more intuition.
Varian, Hal. Microeconomic Analysis. 3rd ed. New York, NY: W.W. Norton, 1992. ISBN: 0393957357.
This text is more concise


14.122 Microeconomic Theory II, Fall 2002
The recommended primary text for the course is Drew Fudenberg and Jean Tirole's text, Game Theory (MIT Press, 1991). The text covers all the material in the course and much more, but has less in the way of intuition and examples than some students would like. For this reason, students might alternatively wish to use Robert Gibbons' Game Theory for Applied Economists (Princeton University Press, 1992) as their primary reference. Gibbons' book contains more readable discussions of the material and a lot of nice examples, but omits a few of the topics we'll cover

14.123 Microeconomic Theory III, Spring 2005
Kreps, D. A Course in Microeconomic Theory. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University, 1990. ISBN: 0691042640.

Varian, H. Microeconomic Analysis. 3rd ed.
Mas-Colell, A., M. Whinston, and J. Green. Microeconomic Theory. New York, NY: Oxford University Press, 1995. ISBN: 0195073401.


14.124 Microeconomic Theory IV, Spring 2003
I will follow the textbook by MasColel, Whinston and Green. It strikes the right balance between the dry text of Varian and the verbose text of Kreps. If you prefer to read these other books you are welcome to do so, but do note that some of the material I will cover is poorly covered by these texts.

MasColel, A., M. Whinston, and J. Green. Microeconomic Theory. Oxford University Press, 1995.

Kreps, D. A Course in Microeconomic Theory. Princeton University Press, 1990.

Varian, H. Microeconomic Analysis. 3rd ed. W.W. Norton Company, 1992.
