  • The mathematical content is algebra-based and accessible to students, but rigorously applied
  • Some additional calculus-based models have been added
  • Uncertainty and game theory are treated at an early point in the book to provide the tools to study imperfect competition and asymmetric information

  • New downloadable chapter on experimental economics on the companion website
