Contents:
1 Introduction.- 2 Simple Economic Models.- 3 Demand Theory: Preferences.- 4 Demand Theory: Constraints and Optimization.- 5 Preferences and Demand.- 6 Production Theory.- 7 Cost Theory.- 8 Firm and Industry Supply in the Short-run.- 9 Long-run Supply.- 10 Competitive Markets: Extensions and Application.- 11 General Equilibrium.- 12 Price-Searcher Markets.- 13 Nonlinear Pricing: Capturing Consumer Surplus.- 14 Oligopoly.- 15 Time.- 1 6 Uncertainty-- Index.
Summary: This book provides a step-by-step tutorial for using this program to examine the economic relationships that form the core of microeconomics in a way that complements traditional modeling techniques. Readers learn how to phrase the relevant analysis and how symbolic expressions, numerical computations, and graphical representations can be used to learn from microeconomic models. In particular, comparative statics analysis is facilitated. Little has been published on Maxima and its applications in economics and finance, and this volume will appeal to advanced undergraduates, graduate-level students studying microeconomics, academic researchers in economics and finance, economists, and financial analysts.
