    This textbook provides an important and fresh approach to the understanding of microeconomic policy. Microeconomic Policy links principles to settings and shows how theory compliments policy and vice-versa. By linking theory to policies and application, this text will enable students to acquire proficiency and recognise balance in policy analysis and preparation. It contains comprehensive coverage of a broad range of policy areas including:
    * competition and technology policy
    * information and governance policy
    * industrial and environmental policy
    * social and income policy
    * public sector failure and reform.
