Microeconomics, 4e : Besanko & Braeutigam

This is certainly an excellent approach to teaching microeconomics, suitable for my course. … [The Learning-By-Doing Exercises are] exactly what students need after they learned the theory and face the task of applying the theory to solve problems on their own. The detailed and sometimes step-by-step learning by doing exercises nicely bridge the gap between the two stages.

One clear strength of Besanko/Braeutigam is its regular use of Learning-By-Doing Exercises linking theory and practice. The set-up used (problem, solution, similar problems) is easy to follow and they link together various text material. These will be very popular with students and teachers. I would use some of these as out-of-class student assignments and also use them in some of my lectures.

—Donald Bumpass, Sam Houston State University
The author’s writing style is very appropriate for undergraduate level students: not too wordy, easy to follow, and yet comprehensive enough. Students find it engaging for these important reasons, particularly when coupled with Learning-By-Doing Exercises and real-life applications.

—Irene Trela, University of Western Ontario
The Learning-By-Doing Exercises are particularly great! They seem to do a good job of tying together many concepts, and illustrating how one needs to take into account many factors in solving an individual problem. The numbered examples are very effective.

—Tina A. Carter, Florida State University
I think it’s great that it includes more advanced discussions of the topics and includes appendices with topics like duality and Shephard’s Lemma; the end-of-chapter questions are the best I’ve seen in any intermediate text; the Learning-By-Doing Exercises are very well done.

—Robert McComb, Texas Tech University
