Textbook! By Joseph E. Stiglitz, Carl E. Walsh; W. W. Norton & Company; 3 edition (March 2002)

For the Third Edition, 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz joins forces with new co-author Carl Walsh, who brings both economic expertise and teaching savvy to the project. Together, Stiglitz and Walsh thoroughly integrate contemporary economics into the traditional curriculum.

Informed by the broad range of research that earned Professor Stiglitz the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, the first edition of this text pioneered important topics relating to the economics of imperfect markets, which are today's standard in all principles texts. Only this text, however, gives those topics serious attention, with complete chapters on imperfect information in product markets, imperfections in labor markets, technological change, and environmental externalities, as well as a complete chapter on strategic behavior.

Book Description:

For the Third Edition, 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz joins forces with new coauthor Carl Walsh, who brings both macroeconomic expertise and teaching savvy to the project. Together, Stiglitz and Walsh thoroughly integrate contemporary economics into the traditional curriculum. Since the publication of Principles of Microeconomics, Second Edition, in 1997, the explosive development of information technologies has altered the economic landscape in important ways.

In the Third Edition, Stiglitz and Walsh embrace the information revolution as an opportunity to revitalize the presentation of economics by linking fundamental concepts and basic models to examples in the "new economy." Supplemented by powerful emedia offerings, outstanding ancillary resources, and comprehensive pedagogy, Principles of Microeconomics, Third Edition, promises to be the most complete, authoritative principles package on the market.
