Applied Microeconomic Theory: Selected Essays of B. Curtis Eaton (Economists of the Twentieth Century) by Buford Curtis Eaton pdf epub fb2

The author's most important papers in a number of areas of applied microeconomic theory, many previously presented as articles in various journals during the 1970s-1990s, are collected here under categories of strategic behavior, efficiency wages, and applied price theory. Specific subjects include the durability of capital as a barrier to entry, agent compensation and the limits of bonding, and supporting collusion by choice of inferior technologies. Other topics covered are the economy of high wages, technology-trading coalitions in supergames, and the geometry of supply, demand, and competitive market structure with economies of scope. Eaton teaches economics at the University of Calgary, Canada. This work lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
