Editorial Reviews

Review

"...I would propose Besanko and Braeutigam as a main text..it balances the needs of the student and instructor...examples that are not only well linked to the principles but do not suffer from being so narrowly American in focus that they might alienate the European reader..."(Times Higher Educational Supplement, Textbook Guide, 31 May 2002)

From the Back Cover

A FULLY INTEGRATED PRESENTATION OF MATH, GRAPHS, PROBLEMS, AND APPLICATIONS!

In MICROECONOMICS: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH, David Besanko and Ronald Braeutigam have teamed up to create an innovative and highly effective new text—a text in which math, graphs, learning-by-doing  problems, and real-world applications all work together in an integrated effort to help you understand microeconomics.

Features:

  • "Learning by Doing" problems throughout the text give you a chance to apply the theory and work through the math step-by-step
  • Many extensive examples show contemporary applications of theory.
  • Over 100 real-world applications make microeconomics relevant and interesting.
  • Presents math and graphs in parallel, with the belief that readers must understand both to fully understand economics.
  • Includes modern topics, including coverage of game theory and oligopoly, and a detailed treatment of sunk costs, and consumer surplus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book with lots of great examples and clear explanations, August 4, 2002

T SANTOSO (Surabaya, Jatim Indonesia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Microeconomics: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
This text book is used in University of Chicago Executive MBA program..., and I like the clear text. It is quiet interesting and engaging to read and good material to accompany the lecture. This textbook also have a lot of good examples.

Microeconomics are basic standard material of MBA program, so the materials are pretty much the same as any other Micro textbook. Talking about Supply and Demand, Price elasticity, production, costs, perfectly competitive markets, monopoly, market structure, etc.

What i like best is the clear text and explanation that is easy to discern even for me (after 16 years not attending school!), and the very FRESH SAMPLES talking even the most recent happenings in the business world. Yup. THE EXAMPLES are all fresh and interesting.

The mathematic is a bit intimidating for people who hate quantitative things.

So, if this is not your textbook, this is still worth buying and reading for the explanation and the examples there.

5.0 out of 5 stars exceptional, November 8, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Microeconomics: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
Truly outstanding micro book by two top NWU profs. It has it all, from basic supply/demand equilibrium equations to cournot, bertrand oligopoly competition models to game theory and beyond. The explanations are clear-crystal, including many examples based on recent happenings. Read this 1st and "Economics of Strategy" afterwards (and if you have time and the skills, Carlton & Perloff's Industrial Organization book) and you will be able to master underpinnings of sophisticated industry/business analysis.
