Edward Cartwright: Microeconomics And Behaviour 4e, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The fourth European edition of Microeconomics and Behaviour builds on its core analytical foundations, and embeds them in accessible and engaging real-world examples to demonstrate the relationship between economic thinking and analysis and human behaviour.

By blending theory with practical application, students are encouraged to think like economists and critically assess the technical tools of microeconomics and to find more interesting and innovative ways of applying them, ultimately developing a lasting interest in the discipline.
