內容簡介

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.

微觀經濟學-個人對生活和工作地點的選擇，節省多少，購買什麼以及企業關於選址，僱用，解僱和投資的決定-涉及到每天與我們相關的問題。但是，當人們考慮經濟學時，他們傾向於將重點放在宏觀經濟上，包括失業，通貨膨脹和國家競爭力等問題。

阿維納什·迪克西特（Avinash Dixit）在這本非常簡短的簡介中指出，微觀經濟對經濟世界的影響很大，可以説與宏觀經濟學問題一樣大。

迪克西特（Dixit）為與微觀經濟學相關的大量問題提供了一條清晰的道路，它解釋了當事情進展順利時會發生什麼，並説明它們如何失敗，為什麼會發生以及可以採取什麼措施。他使用來自世界各地的現實生活中的例子，使用最少的數學知識，包括簡單的圖表，提供了從心理學和社會學角度對經濟學的見識，以解釋經濟行為和理性選擇。任何對商業

和經濟學感興趣的人的理想介紹。
