Ebook: Advanced Microeconomics

What is this book about?
This is a course on advanced microeconomics. It covers a lot of ground, from decision theory to game theory, from bargaining to auction theory, from household theory to oligopoly theory, and from the theory of general equilibrium to regulation theory. It has been used for several years at the university of Leipzig in the Master program “Economics”. A lecturer may find advisable to make some more difficult material non-obligatory, as I do in Leipzig.
What about mathematics ... ?
A course in advanced microeconomics can use more advanced mathematics, such as open sets or Brouwer’s fix-point theorem. I decided not to relegate these concepts to an appendix but to deal with them where they are needed.
Exercises and solutions
The main text is interspersed with questions and problems. Solutions or hints are given at the end of each chapter. On top, we add a few exercises without solutions.
