Offering the most cutting-edge coverage available, the 10th edition of the market-leading MICROECONOMIC THEORY: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND EXTENSIONS delivers a text that is rigorous yet accessible, accurate in theory yet practical in application, thorough yet concise. Now at a more succinct 19 chapters, this tried-and-true, widely popular text is known as the "bible of microeconomics," offering the most clear and accurate presentation of advanced microeconomic concepts. For the new edition, proven author and economic authority Walter Nicholson is joined by new co-author Chris Snyder, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College. These highly respected economists draw from their wealth of experience in the classroom and the marketplace, giving the book a practical, real-world perspective. Taking a calculus-based approach, MICROECONOMIC THEORY provides an ideal level of mathematical rigor for upper level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. Extremely reader-friendly, the book is designed to help students truly understand and apply economic models as it enables them to work directly with theoretical tools, real-world applications, and the latest developments in the study of microeconomics. Insightful graphic presentations help visual learners see the connections between the calculus and the algebra/geometry of the same material. In addition, end-of-chapter problems are now presented in two tiers: Simple numerical/mathematical exercises, which build student intuition, are followed by more analytical, theoretical, and complex problems. Unlike other, more theoretical texts, MICROECONOMIC THEORY presents theory in an accessible way as well as illustrates how it applies in the real world.
Christopher M. Snyder is a Professor of Economics at Dartmouth College. He received his B.A. in economics and mathematics from Fordham University and his Ph.D. in economics from MIT. Before coming to Dartmouth in 2005, he taught at George Washington University for over a decade, and he has been a visiting professor at the University of Chicago and MIT. He is currently President of the Industrial Organization Society and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Industrial Organization and Review of Industrial Organization. His research covers various theoretical and empirical topics in industrial organization, contract theory, and law and economics.
Professor Snyder and his wife Maura Doyle (who also teaches economics at Dartmouth) live within walking distance of campus in Hanover, New Hampshire, with their three elementary-school-aged daughters.
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.

读完这本关于微观经济学的书,我的感受是,它对于“完美市场”的刻画达到了一个极致的精细度,简直像是在一个真空环境里进行物理实验。作者在处理市场失灵和公共物品的部分时,展现出一种近乎偏执的逻辑自洽性。比如,在讨论科斯定理(Coase Theorem)时,作者非常详尽地分析了交易成本如何成为理论模型与现实世界之间的巨大裂隙。然而,这种详尽的分析方式,虽然学术价值毋庸置信,但在阅读体验上却是相当枯燥的。书中对于福利经济学第一定理和第二定理的证明过程,如同一个精密的手术过程,每一步都无可挑剔,但缺少了一些“温度”。我更期待的是,作者能用更具启发性的案例来串联起这些抽象的定理,而不是仅仅罗列和证明。它更像是为那些已经立志成为专业经济学研究者的人准备的“圣经”,对那些只是想了解宏观经济现象背后微观逻辑的普通读者来说,门槛实在太高了。
评分这本书在深入剖析产业组织结构方面的论述,尤其让我感到震撼,但同时也感到一丝不适应。它对博弈论工具的运用,可以说是教科书级别的示范。无论是古诺模型还是伯特兰模型,书中对企业间战略互动的描述,细致到连最微小的反应函数变化都会被精确地量化。对我而言,最大的挑战在于如何将这些静态的、有时甚至是重复博弈的模型,映射到我们日常生活中那些动态变化、信息不完全的商业竞争环境。例如,在分析寡头串通(Cartel)的稳定性时,作者会引入“触发策略”等概念,理论上解释了为什么串通容易瓦解。但当我试图将这些模型应用到观察近期科技巨头之间的价格战或市场划分时,模型的预测力似乎打了折扣,这让我开始思考,书中所构建的理性预期假设,在现实商业博弈中究竟能站稳脚跟几何。总而言之,它提供了顶级的分析框架,但“实战”指导性相对较弱。
评分这本《微观经济学理论》的教材,说实话,给我的感觉有点像在攀登一座巍峨的山峰。初次翻开它的时候,那种厚重感和密密麻麻的公式符号,确实让人有点望而却步。特别是刚接触到消费者选择理论和生产者行为理论那部分,感觉作者似乎默认我们已经对数学工具非常熟悉了。比如,均衡点的推导过程,如果不是我课后花大量时间去复习微积分和线性代数,很多步骤就如同天书一般,无法真正理解其背后的经济学直觉。我记得最清楚的是关于偏好假设和无差异曲线的几何表示,书里对凸性假设的讨论非常严谨,但对于初学者来说,如何将这种数学上的凸性与现实中人们“越多样化的选择越好”的心理动机联系起来,中间的鸿沟有点大。作者在介绍效用函数时,似乎更偏爱使用数学模型来描述一切,而对于现实世界中信息不对称、行为偏差这些“非理性”因素的讨论,虽然在后面的章节有所涉及,但在基础理论的铺陈上,显得有些过于理想化和静态。它更像是一部严谨的理论工具箱的说明书,而不是一本引导你理解市场运行的导览图,需要读者具备相当的分析能力才能真正领会其精髓。
评分这份教材的叙事风格,与我以往读过的任何经济学读物都大相径庭。它不是那种试图用生动故事或幽默比喻来降低难度的作品,反而像是一位严谨的建筑师在绘制一张极其复杂的蓝图。作者对“一般均衡理论”的阐述,简直到了令人叹为观止的地步,将所有市场的相互依赖性,用一套优雅的数学语言编织在一起。但是,这种追求整体完备性的努力,使得局部细节的讲解有时显得不够聚焦。比如说,关于要素市场,特别是劳动力的供给和需求,描述得相对简略,似乎默认读者已经从其他地方吸收了这部分知识。我感觉作者在构建宏大的理论体系时,牺牲了对某些具体市场深入挖掘的机会。阅读体验上,更像是在一座巨大的、设计精密的图书馆里寻找资料,你需要明确知道自己要找什么,否则很容易迷失在汗牛充面的定义和推论之中。它要求读者主动去填补那些被作者认为显而易见的知识空白。
评分最让我印象深刻的是,该书在处理不确定性下的决策理论时所展现的深度。作者并没有满足于简单的期望效用理论,而是直接切入了风险厌恶的边际效应和非线性概率加权。阅读这些章节时,我仿佛不是在读一本经济学教材,而是在进行一场关于人类心理和概率认知的哲学思辨。例如,对阿洛斯悖论(Allais Paradox)的讨论,有力地挑战了传统理论的基石,这部分内容极其引人入胜。然而,随之而来的替代性模型,如前景理论(Prospect Theory)的引入,虽然是对现实的有力补充,但其数学描述的复杂程度相比前文的传统理论,呈几何级数上升。这使得我在理解和掌握这些前沿概念时,不得不频繁地查阅补充材料。这部著作的优点是其学术的深度和前瞻性,但副作用是,它对读者的认知负荷要求极高,读完后感觉像是完成了一次高强度的智力马拉松,收获颇丰,但过程着实不易。
