Problems in Microeconomics

Problems in Microeconomics is a set of practice problems and interactive lecture displays for students and faculty in introductory courses in microeconomics. The problems were written by Byron W. Brown, Professor of Economics at Michigan State University.

Most of these problem sets will see a new birth of freedom as part of the course materials being developed by Aplia, Inc., a publishing company founded by Paul Romer, Professor of Economics at Stanford University. The problem sets are being reprogrammed in Flash which eliminates the need for students and faculty to have Excel to use the problems. Return here from time to time for updates on publication plans.
