In studying General Equilibrium Theory the student must master first the
theory and then apply it to solve problems. At the graduate level there
is no book devoted exclusively to teaching problem solving. This book
teaches for the first time the basic methods of proof and problem
solving in General Equilibrium Theory. The problems cover the entire
spectrum of difficulty; some are routine, some require a good grasp of
the material involved, and some are exceptionally challenging. The book
presents complete solutions to two hundred problems. In searching for
the basic required techniques, the student will find a wealth of new
material incorporated into the solutions. The student is challenged to
produce solutions which are different from the ones presented in the
book.
