Thijs Ten Raa Livres

Focusing on the analysis of efficiency in economics, this book builds on Thijs ten Raa's previous work in input-output economics. It presents a comprehensive collection of twenty-five new papers that explore microeconomic performance measurement across various sectors, national economies, and international trade. The introduction ties these works together, unifying theoretical insights with practical applications in efficiency and input-output analyses, while also reflecting on the historical context of economic thought.

Focusing on national economies, this volume compiles Thijs ten Raa's research on various economic theories, including Input-Output analysis, dynamic models, and performance metrics. It aims to unify insights into national accounting and economic coefficients. The final section specifically examines the rising Asian economies within the context of international competition, providing a comprehensive look at their economic dynamics and challenges.

Microeconomics: Equilibrium and Efficiency teaches how to apply microeconomic theory in an innovative, intuitive and concise way. Using real-world, empirical examples, this book not only covers the building blocks of the subject, but helps gain a broad understanding of microeconomic theory and models.

This book aims to make the nature of input-output analysis in economics clearly accessible and, contrary to the opinion of many commentators, shows that this type of analysis can be compatible with the doctrines of neoclassical economics.
