Riassunto

People pursue their own interests, whatever those interests might be. Some people have interests that are narrow and selfish, while others have interests that are broad and altruistic. The idea that people are self-interested underpins all of economic analysis and raises two fundamental questions: 1. How do people choose the actions they think will further their own interests? 2. Can the potentially conflicting interests of different people be made to 'mesh' in some sort of socio-economic equilibrium? This book is devoted to a detailed study of the first question. Its Companion Volume (Economy-Wide Microeconomics: Equilibrium, Optimality, Applications and Tests) makes a detailed study of the second question.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

William David Anthony (Tony) Bryant is an Honorary Associate Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at Macquarie University. He holds degrees from the Australian National University and the University of Western Sydney, and after a short period working in the Commonwealth Department of Minerals and Energy in Canberra, he moved into academia, where he has worked happily ever since. He has had visiting positions at UC Berkeley, Cambridge University, XLRI, and Sydney University, among other places. His main research interests are in Microeconomics, General Equilibrium Theory, and game theory.

Professor Bryant has published numerous journal articles, book chapters, and research reports in Microeconomics, General Equilibrium Theory, and related areas, including a recently edited volume titled Computable General Equilibrium Models (World Scientific) and a review of Economy Wide Modelling of Water in CGE Models (Oxford University Press). Recently, in a joint work with Edwin Franks, he has discovered, and published in Economics Letters, an interesting set of new necessary and sufficient conditions under which the Law of Demand holds. This work is part of an extensive and ongoing research program aimed at understanding the foundations of General Equilibrium Theory.

Professor Bryant's book, General Equilibrium: Theory and Evidence (World Scientific, 2010), was very favorably reviewed in Zentralblatt MATH, has been influential with research workers, and is highly cited in the literature. This monograph contains a careful and extended investigation of the foundations of general equilibrium. It turns up surprising and compelling conclusions about conditions necessary for general equilibrium.

Professor Bryant's teaching ― particularly of advanced undergraduate and graduate students ― regularly receives high praise for its breadth, clarity, rigor, and its ability to educate and deeply inform.
