内容概要

This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the theoryof regular economies, which is one of the most advancedtopics in modern general equilibrium theory, emphasizing thebasic ideas, the tools and the important applications. Althoughmany notions and tools of differential topology are required tounderstand the theory, the author chooses a minimum of themand heuristically arranges them; that is, instead of lumpingtogether all the necessary mathematics, the author puts at thebeginning of each chapter the minimum mathematics requiredfor the economic analysis of the chapter, so that the readerwill not only save much effort on the mathematics but alsodirectly understand howsuccessfully the mathematics is usedfor the economic issues.
