Advanced Microeconomic Theory

by Geoffrey Alexander Jehle, Philip J. Reny

This rigorous, up-to-date text on modern microeconomic theory presents all of the core mathematics, neoclassical theory, game theory, and information economics needed to access the modern professional literature. Complex theory is patiently and carefully developed, then clearly explained and illustrated because even well-prepared students benefit from additional math help. Careful explanations, efficient theorem-proof organization, and many examples and exercises make this a uniquely effective text for advanced courses. Students will appreciate the clear writing and accessible style.

Once again, I read a huge chunk of this book. Advanced Microeconomic theory is a pretty standard text book for a PhD Economics student from what others have been telling me. I gotta say the game theory section kinda sucks, but the rest for the most part is well organized and relatively easy to read. Appendices in the back are definitely useful (I refer to those a lot). Jehle and Reny pretty much cover or introduce all the basic topics: consumer theory, partial equilibrium, general equilibrium, social choice, game theory, information economics, and auction and mechanism design.

Overall, highly useful book and not overly mathematical. As a supplementary source, I'd also recommend getting Microeconomic Theory, the more classic and probably more used microeconomics textbook.
