Jack Hirshleifer, Amihai Glazer & David Hirshleifer – Price Theory and Applications: Decisions, Markets, and Information, 7th edition
Featuring extensive coverage of information, uncertainty, and game theory, this volume is a new edition of a classic textbook in intermediate microeconomics. It contains over a hundred examples illustrating the applicability of economic analysis not only to mainline economic topics but also issues in politics, history, biology, the family, and many other areas. The text generally describes recent research published in scholarly books and articles, providing students with a good idea of the scientific work done by professional economists in a variety of areas.
From the preface: “Theory is useless unless it leads to applications. But real-world problems remain a buzzing, blooming confusion absent a systematic theory to put them in intellectual order. Earlier editions of this book pioneered an approach, not totally new but given unusual emphasis by us, that weaves together economic theory and real-world applications. Most current intermediate microtheory texts have come to follow our lead and also now try to enrich the theoretical exposition with selected applications. Our enthusiasm for and experience in discovering, describing, and analyzing how microtheory works out in the real world nevertheless lend a special strength to Price Theory and Applications…”
