"Microeconomics: Case Studies and Applications contains case studies that explore core microeconomics concepts by focusing on current events in economics and providing a theory refresher for each section and questions. Designed to be a companion text to larger microeconomics texts, this resource offers a useful, time-saving alternative to sourcing online articles and journals. As a first-year text it teaches best-practice use of case studies and acts as a stepping stone for students who will source and use articles as they progress through their course. Each case study presents a different application of a core concept or theory. As well as the main text, which presents the application of the core concept, each case study contains a range of extra material. A 'Theory refresher' section provides a quick way for students to revise a key concept or theory that is important for understanding the application in that case study."--Publisher's website
