( Microeconomic Analysis has been a fixture of graduate p...)
Microeconomic Analysis has been a fixture of graduate programs in economics for fifteen years, providing unique authority, clarity, and breadth of coverage. The Third Edition continues to supply the building blocks of microeconomic analysis: a thorough treatment of optimization and equilibrium methods, coupled with numerous examples of their application. The Third Edition expands on the earlier editions in two ways. First, the coverage has been rewritten and rearranged. Second, chapters have been added on game theory, oligopoly, asset markets, and information economics. The new chapters fully update the text, highlighting significant developments of the last decade at a level that is accessible for first-year graduate students.

The #1 best-selling intermediate microeconomics text in the world is still the most modern and contemporary. Varian is “the Adam Smith of the new discipline of Googlenomics.”―Stephen Levy, Wired For over 20 years Hal Varian’s Intermediate Microeconomics has given students the most current and complete coverage of intermediate microeconomics at an appropriate mathematical level. The Eighth Edition includes contemporary case studies and examples and relevant coverage of the current economic crisis―all in focused, lecture-length chapters.

( The Seventh Edition of Intermediate Microeconomics: A M...)
The Seventh Edition of Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach is distinguished by its remarkably up-to-date and rigorous yet accessible analytical approach. Professor Varian’s lucid prose guides students through the fundamentals of microeconomic analysis while emphasizing real-world economic problems and incorporating coverage of the most innovative subjects in the discipline. The Seventh Edition has been carefully updated and revised, adding a wealth of new applications and examples that analyze the important lessons offered by eBay, Google, Verizon, IBM, Microsoft, Bank of America, drug companies, the Yellow Pages, and more.

Author: Microeconomic Analysis, 1978, Intermediate Microeconomics, 1987, Information Rules, 1998. Co-editor American Economic Review, 1987-1990.
My early work in economics was concerned with axiomatic notions of ‘fair distribution’ which were based on concepts of symmetric treatment. The main concern here is the relationship between the philosophical concepts and their economic consequences. That work was followed by a brief excursion into the disequilibrium foundations of macroeconomics.
More recently I investigated the theory of optimal taxation and social insurance and models of price discrimination by means of randomisation. Finally, my current interests involve the ‘nonparametric’ approach to econometric analysis. This approach allows an econometrician to test and use microeconomic theory on observed choice behaviour without postulating any restrictive functional forms.
At the moment I am also engaged in several other projects involving public goods, price discrimination, demand estimation and financial markets.
When I look back at my research interests I am struck by their eclectic nature. I have always worked on the basis of ideas, not fields, and have found it very rewarding to do so. I should also mention my contribution to economics through my textbook Microeconomic Analysis.
This started as class notes based on journal articles and classes I had taken. It has evolved into one of the major graduate texts. This has been very gratifying to me and, I hope, useful to the profession.
