CyberEconomics: An Analysis of Unintended Consequences
(from the author) "The purpose of CyberEconomics: An Analysis of Unintended Consequences is simple and not too ambitious: to provide an interactive supplement to a principles of economics course. Because no book publisher sponsors it, it is not designed to fit for any particular text book. Rather it reflects what I find logical for the development of the subject matter... On these pages you will find a complete, two-semester course in introductory economics." [Details...]

Introduction to Economic Analysis
This book presents introductory economics ("principles") material using standard mathematical tools, including calculus. It is designed for a relatively sophisticated undergraduate who has not taken a basic university course in economics. It also contains the standard intermediate microeconomics material and some material that ought to be standard but is not. The book can easily serve as an intermediate microeconomics text. The focus of this book is on the conceptual tools and not on fluff. Most microeconomics texts are mostly fluff and the fluff market is exceedingly over-served by $100+ texts. In contrast, this book reflects the approach actually adopted by the majority of economists for understanding economic activity. There are lots of models and equations and no pictures of economists.

Macroeconomics
We have designed this book to be a supplement to Robert J. Barro's Macroeconomics, which is the textbook that is used in introductory macroeconomics courses at the University of Chicago. In teaching these courses, we have found that Barro's treatment of the subject does not make use of the mathematical skills of our students. In particular, Barro relies almost exclusively on economic intuition and graphs to elucidate his subject. Since our students are familiar with calculus, we are able to work out formal models. This almost always allows greater concreteness and concision. [Details...]

The Joy of Economics: Making Sense out of Life
The book is divided into three sections. The first takes a traditional, though non-technical, approach to develop such core economic concepts as comparative advantage, demand and supply, and economic efficiency. The second section applies these concepts to a wide range of microeconomic issues and the third section tackles macroeconomic issues. These last sections, especially the microeconomic one, are less traditional. Rather than than trying to explain economics, their emphasis is on using economics to explain everyday phenomena. The recurring theme is that differences in behavior across individuals and/or across time are the result of differences in perceived costs and benefits. To understand behavior, both good and bad, we must uncover the underlying costs and benefits that create it. [Details...]
