Microeconomics Using Excel Integrating Economic Theory, Policy Analysis and Spreadsheet Modelling

Market and policy analysis is central to microeconomics and there is a growing demand for education and training. Many national and international institutions require analytical capacities for policy impact analysis, strategic development and decision-making support. Students and analysts in this field need to have a sound understanding of the theoretical foundations of microeconomics and statistical modelling. Microeconomics using Excel will provide students tools with which to better understand microeconomic analysis. This new textbook focuses on solving microeconomic problems by integrating economic theory, policy analysis and spreadsheet modelling. This unique approach will facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the link between theory and problem-solving. Microeconomics using Excel discusses both basic and advanced microeconomic problems and emphasises policy orientation. It is divided into four core parts: Analysis of price policies Analysis of structural policies Multi-market models Budget policy and priority setting The theory behind each problem is explained and each model is solved using Excel. Microeconomics using Excel will be of great interest to students studying economics as well as to professionals in economic and policy analysis.Kirschke, Dieter is the author of 'Microeconomics Using Excel Integrating Economic Theory, Policy Analysis and Spreadsheet Modelling', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415417860 and ISBN 0415417864.
