The ability to recogniz patterna, trends, and significant data is second nature to economists -- but you need to be trained to see these patterns through careful explanation, real-world examples, and a lot of problems. If you want to really understand mircoeconomics and to be able to interpret real-life markets, the solution lies in the process of working throught problems and making discoveries. That's why hands - on problem solving plays such an essential role in Besanko and Besanko and Braeutigam's Microeconomics, 2nd Edition.

-   Learning-by-Doing problems show you how it's done.
    Each chapter features anumber of worked examples that
    provied a step-by roadmap for setting up and solving njmerical
    problems. Each Learning-by-Doing problem correlates to similar
    proactice problems at the end of the chapter.

-   End-of-chapter problems provide many opportunities to
    practice.
    This Second Edition features many new problems (for a total   
    of 20-25 problems per chapter). The problems range in level
    fromeasy to challenging and allow you to see the same topic
    from multiple angles. Fully worked solutions to a selection of
    these problems are included at the end of the tex.

-   Extensive real-world applications make microeconomics relevan.
    This edition features more than 100 applications throughout
    the book. These contemporary aplications are all drawn
    fromcurrent events of recent microeconomics research, and
    make the abstract theory com alive.

-   eGrade Plus provieds context sensitive problem-solving help
    and more.
    The powerful course management tool combines a dynamic,
    interactive learning environment with a complete online version
    of the textbookl
    Problems are linked to the relevant sectio in the online text.
