David kreps has developed a text in microeconomics that succeeds in being both
challenging and user-friendly. The book is designed for final-year undergraduate
and graduate students of microeconomics theory, with numerous problem sets and
exercises. The author uses a wide variety of markets for examples with a
concentration in industrial economics. He provides a very broad coverage of
traditional and modern approaches to microeconomic theory, with a careful
progression from the traditional approach to modern developments.
