Readings in Applied Microeconomic Theory: Market Forces and Solutions presents both classic articles fundamental to microeconomic analysis as well as modern treatments of frontier issues in applied theory. Complementary standard textbook treatments, the readings and their bibliographies offer further coverage of fields such as game theory, decision making under uncertainty theory, and auction theory.
Designed for students in advanced microeconomic theory, the book is accessible to students with diverse mathematical backgrounds. Although some selections contain mathematical treatments higher than the standard advanced level, all text presentation can stand alone to explain the material.

The book concentrates on the forces generated by the market economy and the nature of the solutions created to deal with them. Kuenne's complementary Readings in Social Welfare: Theory and Policy examines solutions to social welfare issues.
