Varian’s Intermediate Microeconomics, long the gold standard, welcomes new co-author Marc Melitz. Informed by his extensive teaching experience, Melitz incorporates fresh examples and problems to modernize and enhance Varian’s core approach to support today’s students. A new interactive ebook supports problem solving and includes interactives to explain challenging concepts.

Hal Varian, in the course of a long and distinguished career, has made a seminal contribution to many branches of economics. His path-breaking work on the development of economic theory, finance, industrial organization and econometrics is represented in this important new collection of key articles published over the last twenty years. The book highlights Hal Varian's influence upon equity, dynamics, price discrimination, economic incentives, revealed preference, econometrics, public goods and economic methodology. Many of the papers are not easily accessible through other sources and so this book will be an invaluable point of reference for scholars and graduate students.

From Google's chief economist, Varian's best-selling intermediate microeconomics texts are revered as some of the best in the field. And now students can work problems online with Smartwork5, Norton's online homework system, packaged at no additional charge with the Media Update Editions. In addition to online homework, the texts now include four-colour graphs and new interactive animations.

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.

Mathematica is a computer program (software) for doing symbolic, numeric and graphical analysis of mathematical problems. In the hands of economists, financial analysts and other professionals in econometrics and the quantitative sector of economic and financial modeling, it can be an invaluable tool for modeling and simulation on a large number of issues and problems, besides easily grinding out numbers, doing statistical estimations and rendering graphical plots and visuals. Mathematica enables these individuals to do all of this in a unified environment. This book's main use is that of an applications handbook. Modeling in Economics and Finance with Mathematica is a compilation of contributed papers prepared by experienced, "hands on" users of the Mathematica program. They come from

This book/software package divulges the combined knowledge of a whole international community of Mathematica users - from the fields of economics, finance, investments, quantitative business and operations research. The 23 contributors - all experts in their fields - take full advantage of the latest updates of Mathematica in their presentations and equip both current and prospective users with tools for professional, research and educational projects. The real-world and self-contained models provided are applicable to an extensive range of contemporary problems. The DOS disk contains Notebooks and packages which are also available online from the TELOS site.

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 Economics of Information Technology is a concise and accessible review of some of the important economic factors affecting information technology industries. These industries are characterized by high fixed costs and low marginal costs of production, large switching costs for users, and strong network effects. These factors combine to produce some unique behavior. The book consists of two parts. In the first part, Professor Varian outlines the basic economics of these industries. In the second part, Professors Farrell and Shapiro describe the impact of these factors on competition policy. The clarity of the analysis and exposition makes this an ideal introduction for undergraduate and graduate students in economics, business strategy, law and related areas.
