Review
In my view, the applications are the strength of the text and the reasons why I use this particular text. The students like them too and often comment on them in class.
My overall opinion of the text is that is does a good job of addressing the concepts that I would like to see in an intermediate level text. I primarily like the way the text begins with a discussion of what economic models are, and then flows into the various models from there.
My overall impression is that Nicholson is the best text in the field. There are two themes in Nicholson. First, the text is a study of how economists study markets and, second, the text uses many applications to show the usefulness of the theory. He gets to the essential theory without elegant mathematical models. All of this is in keeping with my approach to the course. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author
Walter Nicholson is the Ward H. Patton Professor of Economics at Amherst College. He received his B.A. in mathematics from Williams College and his Ph.D. in economics from MIT. Professor Nicholson's principal research interests are in the econometric analyses of labor market problems including unemployment, job training, and the impact of international trade. Professor Nicholson and his wife, Susan, live in Amherst, Massachusetts, and Naples, Florida. What was previously a very busy household, with four children everywhere, is now rather empty, with only one rather aged Labrador retriever still underfoot. But an ever-increasing number of grandchildren breathe some life into these places whenever they visit, which seems far too seldom.

By A Customer
This review is from: Intermediate Microeconomics and Its Application (Hardcover)
For a textbook, this one was very well organized and had an easy flow in reading. Best economics related book I have read. It did, though, have some minor spelling and grammar mistakes though.
