Features: This book is the sister volume to Modern Economics (Macroeconomics Part), primarily introducing microeconomics. It examines individual economic entities such as individuals, households, firms, as well as individual product or service markets, studying the economic behavior of these entities and the determination conditions of corresponding economic variables. Based on differences in market control, markets are divided into four types: perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly, with separate analysis of price and quality determination in each. The central focus of microeconomics lies in the determination of market prices, hence it is often referred to as equilibrium price theory or price theory. Depending on theoretical emphasis, scope, and other factors, this book sequentially introduces theories such as consumer behavior theory, production theory, cost theory, market structure theory, factor market theory, welfare economics, and general equilibrium. The book features a well-structured layout, rich content, appropriate examples, and strong readability.
