Principles of Microeconomics an Open Text
Principles of Microeconomics provides a concise, yet complete, coverage of introductory microeconomic theory, application and policy in a Canadian and global environment.

should inform economic policy. So we investigate the meaning of ‘well-being’ in the context of an efficient use of the economy’s resources early in the text.
We next develop an understanding of individual optimizing behaviour. This behaviour in turn is
used to link household decisions on savings with firms’ decisions on production, expansion and
investment. A natural progression is to explain production and cost structures
