Description: "This text in microeconomics focuses on the strategic analysis of markets under imperfect competition, incomplete information, and incentives." "Each chapter introduces the core issues in an accessible yet rigorous fashion, and then investigates specialized themes. An attempt is made to develop a coherent story, with self-contained explanations and proofs. The only prerequisites are a basic knowledge of calculus and probability, and familiarity with intermediate undergraduate microeconomics." "The text can be used as a textbook in courses on microeconomics, theoretical industrial organization, and information and incentives for senior undergraduate or first-year graduate students."--Jacket.
