Customer Reviews

The author's students love it

I'm purchasing my own copy of this book because of very positive reviews from students in the author's classes (there may be some bias there, of course). It is used to teach two micro econ classes in the Ag Econ department - one split level and one graduate-only, I think. Students from other applied econ fields also take the courses for grad credit (like Consumer Econ) so it is broadly applicable material. The students say that it has everything they need for their theses/dissertations and to prepare for comps. I have borrowed the book several times and I find that the explanations are usually good, but a one or two topics leave you feeling like you only skimmed the surface and perhaps got more opinion/conclusion than fact. Overall I do not hesitate to buy a used copy as a reference book for $20-40. It's a good microecon theory book, especially for those who want more than the intro and non-math theory books. My understanding and brief experience is that the math does become complicated though if you're not good with maxtrix algebra and that sort of thing.

Good Product

The book arrived about 2 weeks after I bought it, from the United States to Mexico, so I consider it was a very good service. I recomend to send the books into a harder covering because I noticed that my book was damaged in a certain level because of the transportation within a very weak covering; may be the price would be a little higher but it's worthwhile. The book was in good conditions.
