 Eugene Silberberg Professor Emeritus Areas of Interest: Microeconomic Theory and Applications Email: silber@u.washington.edu Home Page: http://www.econ.washington.edu/people/detail.asp?uid=silber Office: Condon 410 Phone: (206) 543-8664 Office Hours: Curriculum Vitae Professor Silberberg received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1964. He specializes in microeconomic theory and applications. He is the author of The Structure of Economics, a graduate/advanced undergraduate text, and Principles of Microeconomics, a high-level freshman text.
In addition, "Nutrition and the Demand for Tastes" (Journal of Political Economy) showed how consumers switch to relatively greater "tastiness" versus "nutrition" as income increases; "Ideology and Legislator Shirking" (Economic Inquiry) showed that shirking of constituents' interests obeyed the law of demand; "Race, Recent Entry and Labor Market Participation" (American Economic Review) examined responses to unanticipated wage increases. "The LeChatelier Principle: the Long and the Short Of It" (Economic Theory) gives an elegant analysis of long vs. short run effects for finite changes in parameters.
