Book Description
Microeconomic Theore is intended to serve as the text for a first-year graduate
course in microeconomic theory. The original sources for much of the book’s material
are the lecture notes that we have provided over the years to students in the first-year
microeconomic theory course at Harvard. Starting from these notes, we have tried
to produce a text that covers in an accessible yet rigorous way the full range of topics
taught in a typical forst-year course.
The nonlexicographic ordering of our names deserves some explanation. The
proyect was first planned and begun by the three os us in the spring of 1990.
However, in February 1992, after early versions of most of the book’s chapters had
been drafted, Jerry Green was selected to serve as Provost of Harvard University,
a position that forced him to suspend his involvement in the project. From this
point in time until the manuscript’s completion in June 1994, Andreu Mas-Colell
and Michael Whinston assumed full responsibility for the project. With the conclusion
of Jerry Green’s service as Provost, the original three-person team was reunited for
the review of galley and page proofs during the winter of 1994/1995.
