Micro markets: a market structure approach to microeconomic analysis

Micro Markets elucidates basic microeconomic concepts with an emphasis on applicability. Schwartz and Carew define microeconomics as the study of the dynamic operations of a marketplace. They establish a common application for all ofthe basic economic concepts that are reviewed, and readers will acquire an in-depth knowledge of a specific industry that is of major economic importance in aggregate, and to most individuals. By taking microeconomic theory and making it applicable to the marketplace, Micro Markets builds the much-needed bridge between theory and practice. Each chapter includes practice problems and power points. Solutions to the problems are provided in the accompanying Workbook.Robert A. Schwartz (New York, NY) is Marvin M.
