Product Description
Product Description
Pindyck and Rubinfeld now sells twice as many copies as its next closest competitor, making it by far the best-selling text in the market. Why? Our book is clearly written, accurate, and well loved by professos and their students.
If you want a text that gives students a solid understanding for how microeconomics can be used outside of the classroom, this is the right book for you.
About the Author
ROBERT S. PINDYCK is the Mitsubishi Bank Professor in Economics and Finance in the Sloan School of Management at M.I.T. He is also a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society, and has been a Visiting Professor of Economics at Tel-Aviv University. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from M.I.T. in 1971. Professor Pindyck's research and writing have covered a variety of topics in micro economics and industrial organization, including the effects of uncertainty on firm behavior and market structure, determinants of market power, the behavior of natural resource, commodity, and financial markets, and criteria for investment decisions. He has been a consultant to a number of public and private organizations, and is currently co-editor of The Review of Economics and Statistics. He is also the co-author with Daniel Rubinfield of Econometric Models and Economic Forecasts, a best-selling textbook that may or may not be turned into a feature film.

He received a BA in mathematics from Princeton University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in Economics from M.I.T. in 1972. Professor Rubinfeld is the author of a variety of articles relating to competition policy, law and economics, law and statistics, and public economics. He is currently co-editor of the International Review of Law and Economics, and has served as Associate Dean and Chair of the Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program at Berkeley from 1987-1990 and 1999-2000.

Format:Paperback
I had a copy of this book which changed editions between my second and third year. I went to the library and compared the old and new editions and out of the entire 600 pages, only six pages had new content and a few chapters were switched around. The rest was virtually identical. If you don't need to buy it new, don't.

As his students used to say in MIT Sloan (where he teaches), if Pindyck ever teaches a class in anything, just take it, he's so good. This book makes business economics simple and relevant. It is at the same time thorough and advanced. After having gone through it, you'll be surprised at how much can you learn in such a short time. This is possibly also among the best books about business strategy that you'll find. Those that criticize "text-book economics" as irrelevant to every-day business have not read Pindyck-Rubinfield's Microeconomics.

Format:Paperback
This is a decent introductory text with enough rigour but not too much maths. You get to grips with the principal micro concepts delivered with a lively and interesting tone. You're going to need to step up with some other book (e.g. Varian) if you wish to further your knowledge but this is a good foundation.

The book is in very good condition, though the delivery was late, due to customs, it was really worth the wait.

An excellent grounding in micro-economics
An excellent text covering the broad gamut of micro-economic concepts and nuances - suitable for undergraduates or post-graduates that have little background in economics.
