Utility and Production

This microeconomics text presents the traditional economic theories about utility and production. But it contains new theoretical functions created from specific optimization procedures. Moreover, it details clearly the common function expression forms such as Cobb-Douglas and CES in which the theory is checked. Finally, it presents empirical tests and their interpretation in relation to the theory.
