The economics of Production

Written as a textbook for courses in production economics theory and the theory of the firm, this book is aimed at first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates in economics and agricultural economics. Geometry is used extensively, both two- and three-dimensional graphs, to enable students to make the transition from the more familiar geometric/intuitive form of economic reasoning to the less familiar abstract mathematical approach. Upon completion of the text, students should be able to capture and hold the complementaries of both approaches. At the end of each chapter (except Chapter One) there is a list of suggested readings, including published works cited in the chapter, and a set of relevant problems.
