Following are links to chapter-by-chapter “guides for students,” to accompany the chapters in Microeconomic Foundations I: Choice and Competitive Markets. Each of these provides a brief summary of the corresponding text chapter and solutions to the starred problems in the text. The first link is to an introduction to these chapter-by-chapter guides; please follow this link and read that item if you are accessing this for the first time. Also, a link is provided corresponding to Appendix 6 of the book, which provides solutions to all the unsolved problems in that appendix. The final two links are to a list of errata that have been found in the text and a note concerning the so-called “Envelope Theorem.”

You have permission to print copies of these chapters for your personal use. In addition, instructors of courses using Microeconomic Foundations I: Choice and Competitive Markets have permission to print multiple copies of these chapters to distribute to students in the course, to provide to course assistants, and/or to put on reserve for the use of students in such a course. Instructors also have permission to “cut-and-paste” solutions of individual problems for distribution to students. (If you are distributing “cut-and-paste copies,” you must include the copyright/permissions notice that appears on the first page of each chapter.) 

For all other uses, please obtain written (email) permission from David M. Kreps (kreps@stanford.edu).

An Instructor’s Manual is also available on the web, but access is limited to bona fide instructors of courses that use the text either as primary or as supplemental text.
