Man on phone waiting for train

Muñoz-Garcia starts with a story. "Consider a grad student choosing between ramen and coffee." He uses numerical examples first (e.g., Utility = x^0.5 * y^0.5 with specific prices and income). He solves for the optimal bundle numerically. Then he introduces the Lagrangian. Then he derives the Slutsky equation intuitively: "The total effect of a price change = Substitution effect (relative price change) + Income effect (purchasing power change)."

Week 2 — Consumer theory (advanced)

: Partial and general equilibrium, monopoly, and imperfect competition.

You need this PDF if:

"Advanced Microeconomic Theory" is deliberately written to serve a broad audience, spanning a range of levels and programs:

The book covers the standard "core" of microeconomic theory but adds modern depth:

While earlier chapters applied Game Theory to markets, this section builds the theoretical toolbox.

Please let me know if you would like me to continue with the rest of the draft.

In short, Muñoz‑Garcia's book occupies a unique and valuable niche: it is rigorous enough for graduate students, but accessible enough for advanced undergraduates and practitioners.

When you search for "Advanced Microeconomic Theory- An Intuitive Approach With Examples -MIT Press-.pdf" , you are implicitly trusting the MIT Press brand. This is not a vanity press or a collection of lecture notes. MIT Press is one of the most prestigious academic publishers in economics (publishing Paul Krugman, Peter Diamond, etc.).

Week 7 — Uncertainty and information

  1. My longtime favourite is Solomon’s Boneyard (see also: Solomon’s Keep!). I’ll have to check out Eternium because it might be similar — you pick a wizard that controls a specific element (magic balls, lightning, fire, ice) and see how long you can last a graveyard shift. I guess it’s kind of a rogue-lite where you earn upgrades within each game but also persistent upgrades, like magic rings and additional unlockable characters (steam, storm, fireballs, balls of lightning, balls of ice, firestorm… awesome combos of the original elements.)

    I also used to enjoy Tilt to Live, which I think is offline too.

    Donut county is a fun little puzzle game, and Lux Touch is mobile risk that’s played quickly.

  2. Thank you great list. My job entails hours a day in an area with no internet and with very little to do. Lol hours of bordom, minutes of stress seconds of shear terror !

    Some of these are going to be life savers!

  3. I’ve put hours upon hours into Fallout Shelter. You build a Fallout Shelter and add rooms to it Electric, Water, Food, and if you add a man and woman to a room they will have a baby. The baby will grow up and you can add them to an area to help with the shelter. Outsiders come and attack if you take them out sometimes you can loot the body to get new weapons. There’s a lot more to it but thats kind of sums it up. Thank you for the list I’m down loading some now!

    1. Oh man, I spent so much time on Fallout Shelter a few years ago! Very fun game — thanks for the reminder!
