本书特色

本书是安德鲁·斯科特教授《微观经济学》的缩减版。全书从八个部分对微观经济学进行了详细说明，主要包括：偏好、效用、需求和不确定性；生产和成本；决策理论；市场和市场结构；福利、交易和一般均衡；失衡和市场失灵；阶级斗争的起源等。本书的其他特色在于引用更多的实验证据和批判性的分析。本书语言生动、理论深入浅出。

内容简介

本书是安德鲁·斯科特教授《微观经济学》的缩减版。不同于传统教科书的论述逻辑，本书将微观经济学作为理解社会经济制度多样性和演化过程的工具。这使得这本中级水平的微观经济学教科书以一以贯之的个体决策模型统一了传统微观经济学的各个理论部分，并解释了复杂经济制度演化的内在机制。
　　本书的其他特色在于引用更多的实验证据和批判性的分析。本书语言生动、理论深入浅出，适合经济管理类本科生、研究生使用，对于经济学者和实际经济领域的决策者同样大有裨益。

插图：The answer is yes, but only if his or her choices satisfy some consistency criteria. So, instead of insisting that preferences be constrained to satisfy certain axiomsor assumptions and then demonstrating that rational choices result, in this section of our analysis we insist on choice being constrained to be consistent in some manner and then go back and ask what the underlying preferences look like that areconsistent with these choices. This is called the reveal preference theory because the object of analysis is to ask what the choices of the consumer reveal about his or her preferences. Let us start with a simple concept. Say we observe a consumer in two situations described by how much income he has and what prices he faces. For example, say that in situation 1, he has $100 and can buy apples and pears each at $1 a piece. In that situation, say he buys 50 apples and 50 pears, which constitute bundle x （50 apples, 50 pears）. （Note that the consumer can exactly afford this bundle because it exactly exhausts his income.） Now say that the consumer faces another situation in which he has $200 to spend but the price of apples has risen to $4 while the price of pears has stayed at $1 each. Say the consumer now buys 35 apples and 60 pears, bundley （35 apples, 60 pears）, the cost of which is exactly $200. Such a consumer, we will claim, acted in a strange manner because notice that after the prices changed, he chose bundley = （35 apples, 60 pears）, which he could have afforded in the first situation but chose not to take. If he did not like that bundle in the first situation （and chose x = （50 apples, 50 pears）, then why the sudden reversal？ The problem is that by choosing x = （50 apples, 50 pears） overy = （35 apples, 60 pears） in the first situation when both were affordable （at prices of $1 each）, he revealed a direct preference for x over y; but in the new situation when his income and the prices changed, her evealed a preference for the opposite bundle. We would like to rule such reversalsout. This is done by the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference.
