"Abundant with practical advice and ready-to-use teaching examples, this dynamic guide will help both new and experienced instructors of Principles of Microeconomics to reconsider and refine their courses. Mark Maier and Phil Ruder assemble the wisdom of 25 eminent scholars of economic education on how best to introduce students to the discipline and inspire a long-lasting passion for microeconomics. Beyond offering guidance to educators on how to improve students' learning experience, the book proposes measures for addressing many of the vexing challenges that face the economics discipline today. Chapters provide suggestions on how to capture students' attention and ensure their continued engagement, including selecting course content that focuses on important public policy topics and pressing issues within modern society, adopting evidence-based pedagogical strategies in the classroom and online, and tackling issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the discipline. The ideas advanced in this illuminating guide highlight the possibility of continued improvement throughout one's teaching career. The jargon-free advice in this insightful teaching guide will also be of interest to deans, teaching and learning center directors, and other administrators of undergraduate institutions"--

A divergence of views among microeconomists in general and game theorists in particular regarding the explanatory objectives of microeconomic theory has become apparent in recent years. This divergence concerns, most fundamentally, the question whether institutions, legal or customary rules, or social norms are to be classified among the endogenous as opposed to the exogenous variables in the framework of microeconomic analysis. 1 The majority of economists are probably agnostic or ambivalent on this question, not having confronted, or not having had to confront, the issue in their own work. Many have sidestepped it by treating institutions as immutable or by restricting their analyses to a given rule regime. But rules do vary and change, and among those who are concerned with studying variation in institutions, two diverging views are increasingly identifiable, sometimes coexisting even within the writings of the same author.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and principles of microeconomics. It introduces students to the models, assumptions, and empirical applications of modern microeconomics, as well as to the necessary mathematical tools. It covers topics such as economic behavior, consumer theory, theory of the firm, partial and general equilibrium theory, industrial organization, bargaining theory, and Pareto optimality. Students learn not only about economic outcomes at a given point of equilibrium, but also about dynamic economics, which includes both equilibrium and disequilibrium. This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in economics and related fields who are interested in the basic theories and applications of microeconomics.
