Microeconomic Policy:A New Perspective

This textbook shows students how microeconomic theory can be used and applied to major issues of public policy. In this way, it will improve their understanding of both microeconomic theory and policy and also develop their ability to critically assess them." Clem Tisdell and Keith Hartley have expanded upon their previous successful work on microeconomics. As a result, this new book is considerably updated with substantial chapter revisions, as well as new chapters dealing with business management, ownership, environmental issues, public choice, defence, conflict and terrorism.

Keith Hartley is Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics and Director of the Centre for Defence Economics at The University of York, UK.

Clem Tisdell is a Professor Emeritus in the School of Economics at The University of Queensland, Australia
