Product Description

Book Description

The idea of duality has proved to be a powerful device in modern work on the economics of consumer behaviour. The authors have used duality to provide an integrated and accessible treatment of this subject. The book focuses on applications of the theory to welfare economics and econometric analysis.

From the Back Cover

The book begins with four chapters that provide a self-contained presentation of the basic theory and its use in applied econometrics. These chapters also include elementary extensions of the theory to labor supply, durable goods, the consumption function, and rationing. The rest of book is divided into three parts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suitable for those who wish to have knowledge in applied microeconomics. 26 Mar. 2013
By Alysson L. Stege - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Great book for those who already have some familiarity with microeconomics in particular consumer theory.
The book's emphasis on duality. Book also shows the almost linear demand system model (AIDS) authoring authors. For those who
search a book of applied microeconomics, this is a good indication.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a great textbook 18 Dec. 2004
By Amazon Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
It is true that this book is now a bit dated. However, first, much of the foundations of microeconomic theory has not changed since the 80s and, second, this book contains a great deal that more "modern" micro textbooks (such as Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green MWG) do not even mention. In particular, if your interest lies mostly in APPLIED work, this book is, in my opinion, superior to MWG. The chapters on demand are superb, and not surprisingly you still see them cited in hundreds of recent papers. I stress the fact that here you will not only learn about the building blocks of consumer theory, but you will also see actual APPLICATIONS of the estimation of demand systems (including the now famous Almost Ideal Demand System "invented" by the authors themselves). This textbook is invaluable for those who want to have a rigorous primer on demand, and demand estimation. Also excellent are the treatment of non-linear budget constraints, and price indexes. The book is also VERY well written, and intuition is almost always provided. On the minus side, game theory and contract theory are not covered at all, but these are topics that are covered well in many other books (including MWG).

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful text 21 Jun. 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
Even if somewhat dated, this text still gives a clear and pertinent exposition of consumer behaviour theory. It is an unavoidable introduction to further literature on the topic, such as Deaton's work.
