内容简介

Microeconomics - individuals' choices of where to live and work, how much to save, what to buy, and firms' decisions about location, hiring, firing, and investment - involves issues that concern us on a daily basis. But when people think about economics, they tend to place importance on the bigger picture - macroeconomics - including issues such as unemployment, inflation, and the competitiveness of nations.

In this Very Short Introduction, Avinash Dixit argues that the microeconomy has a large impact on the economic world, arguably as much as the issues of macroeconomics.

Dixit steers a clear path through the huge number of issues related to microeconomics, explaining what happens when things go well, as well as showing how they fail, why that happens, and what can be done about it. Using real-life examples from around the world, using the minimum of mathematics and including simple graphs, he provides insights into economics from psychology and sociology to explain economic behaviour and rational choice. An ideal introduction for anyone interested in business

and economics.

微观经济学-个人对生活和工作地点的选择，节省多少，购买什么以及企业关于选址，雇用，解雇和投资的决定-涉及到每天与我们相关的问题。但是，当人们考虑经济学时，他们倾向于将重点放在宏观经济上，包括失业，通货膨胀和国家竞争力等问题。

阿维纳什·迪克西特（Avinash Dixit）在这本非常简短的简介中指出，微观经济对经济世界的影响很大，可以说与宏观经济学问题一样大。

迪克西特（Dixit）为与微观经济学相关的大量问题提供了一条清晰的道路，它解释了当事情进展顺利时会发生什么，并说明它们如何失败，为什么会发生以及可以采取什么措施。他使用来自世界各地的现实生活中的例子，使用最少的数学知识，包括简单的图表，提供了从心理学和社会学角度对经济学的见识，以解释经济行为和理性选择。任何对商业
