CURRICULUM VITAE
RESEARCH
Microeconomics
is a new undergraduate intermediate microeconomics textbook by B.
Douglas Bernheim and Michael D. Whinston. The text takes a new
approach to the intermediate microeconomics course, including both
exciting recent developments (game theory, information economics,
behavioral economics) and an up-to-date approach to traditional material.
The book emphasizes relevance by explaining why it
matters
when introducing a topic and by providing numerous real-world
applications that focus directly on the key concepts in the
theory. It also offers an innovative approach to quantitative
problem-solving that allows students to solve a wide variety of
quantitative problems (including utility-maximization and
cost-minimization problems, saving-consumption problems, and oligopoly
games) in non-calculus and intuitively-oriented calculus courses.
