Advanced Industrial Economics, 2nd Edition

Games and Information Third Edition
Eric Rasmusen
Indiana University

"This is a terrific book bringing together two strands in the recent literature on economic theory, namely game theory and the economics of asymmetric information. The style is brisk, the arguments are rigorous and it seems to be pitched at exactly the right level."
Partha Dasgupta, University of Cambridge (of the previous edition)

Written in a crisp and accessible style, Games and Information, Third Edition, uses simple modeling techniques and straightforward explanations to provide students with a clear understanding of game theory and information economics. The third edition brings the text totally up-to-date with coverage of new topics, including price discrimination, risk and uncertainty over values, and fixed-point theorems and genericity. Other chapters have been extensively reorganized or rewritten. This is an indispensable tool for undergraduates studying advanced microeconomics. It is also of considerable interest to scholars and researchers of game theory and information economics.

Readings in Games and Information
Edited by Eric Rasmusen
Indiana University

The theory of games, first given a rigorous formulation by von Neumann in 1928, is a sub-field of mathematics and economics that models situations in which individuals compete and cooperate with each other. Selections in this volume run the gamut from classic and contemporary journal articles to news clippings and portions of popular novels. Important criteria for the selection of articles are their brevity and lucidity. Throughout, Eric Rasmusen ties the material together with extensive notes and commentary. The appendices at the end cover writing and modeling in economics and appropriate mathematical concepts.

Readings in Applied Microeconomic Theory
Market Forces and Solutions
Edited by Robert Kuenne
Princeton University

Readings in Applied Microeconomic Theory concentrates on the forces generated by the market economy and the nature of the solutions created to deal with them. The book presents both classic articles fundamental to microeconomic analysis as well as modern treatments of frontier issues in applied theory. The readings and their bibliographies offer further coverage of new fields such as game theory, decision-making, and auction theory. Blackwell Readings for Contemporary Economics.

Econometric Theory
James Davidson
Cardiff University

Econometric Theory presents a modern approach to the theory of econometric estimation and inference, with particular applications to times series. Based on lectures given over several years at the London School of Economics, the book applies recent developments in asymptotic theory to derive the properties of estimators when the model is only partially specified. Topics covered in depth include the linear regression model, optimization estimators (including maximum likelihood and the generalized method of movement), hypothesis testing, and the theory of non-stationary processes and co-integration.
