As well as taking a new look at standard equilibrium theory there is extensive examination of equilibrium under uncertainty the capital asset pricing model and arbitrage pricing theory. Choice over time is given extensive coverage and includes a basic introduction to control theory. The final third of the book on game theory provides a comprehensive introduction to models with asymmetric information. Topics such as auctions signaling and mechanism design are made accessible to students who have a basic rather than a deep understanding of mathematics. Examples and diagrams are used to illustrate issues as well as formal derivations.
