از ویژگیهای مهم این اثر بهویژه در مقایسه با کتابهای موجود اقتصاد خرد، آن است که تمامی نظریههای عمدهٔ اقتصاد خرد و فرضیههای مربوطه را در چارچوب فرضیههایی با بیان ریاضی و به گونهای روشن ارائه کرده است. در این رابطه پس از تعریف مفاهیم اساسی هر قضیه، مراحل گامبهگام اثبات آن بهطور کامل آورده شده است. این رویکرد به دانشجویان میآموزد که با پرهیز از مطالب جانبی هر نظریه و بهدور از سردرگمی در برخورد با یک موضع خاص، ویژگیهای اساسی و اثبات دقیق آن را فراگیرند.
Came to this book because of recommending from my professor. In reality, I don't like it as much as Micro Theory of Mas-Colell. It's probably more difficult than Kreps's book but less theoretical and mathematical than Micro theory of Mas Colell. The math summary isn't good as I hope. Maybe this one in Mas Colell is much better. It suits third-year undergrad or pre-master students than graduate level.
Not nearly as mathy as Mas-Colell, Whinston, and Green (MWG), and much more conversational in prose (for a microeconomic theorist, Varian is a great writer), I did find this textbook to be a great supplement to the primary materials in the core micro curriculum of my PhD program. I did find that Varian's explanation of the integrability problem - a way to solve the problem of deriving an expenditure function from observed consumer demand behavior - was better than MWG.
Hmmmm...Its hard to understand this book. But i must read this because my Professor luv this book. This book is one of main handbook to advance micro subject.
Now, I still read this book and cann't never stop because my comprehensive will be come, hikhikhik!
