What is the best Advanced Microeconomics textbook for Mater Level students. I am teaching the Advanced Microeconomics to Master level students. Please suggest the best textbook of the mentioned subject.

Hal Varian's textbook is a good option: https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393957358
I used it during my master and I think it is much more intuitive than others. It is possible that there are recent alternatives that can be better.
If you want to emphasize math, then I recommend Andrew MasColell et. al "Advance Microeconomic Theory".
For a more traditional introduction at a graduate level, I recommend Robert S. Pindyck and Daniel L. Rubinfeld Microeconomics.
1) Hal Varian. Microeconomic Analysis. 3rd Ed. New York, NY: W.W. Norton, 1992.
2) Geoffrey Jehle and Philip Reny, Advanced Microeconomic Theory. 3rd ed. Pearson Education Limited, 2011
3) Felix Munoz-Garcia, Advanced Microeconomic Theory: An Intuitive Approach with Examples, The MIT Press, 2017.
It depends on the students' background. Core is a fantastic resource (https://www.core-econ.org/ebooks/). I am also rather fond of Sam Bowles' Microeconomics. It is clearly a math book but not too technical and a more modern approach to micro than Varian which is a bit old-fashioned.
I recommend A.W. Stonier and D.C. Hague, A Text Book of Economic Theory and A.Koutsoyiannis, Modern Micro Economics both are wonderful text books.
Hal. Varian's Book "Microeconomic analysis" is the best book for masters level.
Hi Sayed.
To address consumer and firm theories, I suggest:
- JEHLE, G. A.; RENY, P. J. Advanced microeconomic theory. 3rd ed. New York: Addison-Wesley, 2011.
To address game theory, I suggest:
- GIBBONS, R. Game theory for applied economists. Princeton : Princeton University Press, 1992.
Best regards.
(Math) Andrew MasColell "Advance Microeconomic Theory". (Theory and Math) Jehle and Philip Reny, Advanced Microeconomic Theory
Hi, some books I used to study and teach were: (1) Mas-Colell et al Microeconomic Theory, (2) Kreps Microeconomic Foundations I: Choice and Competitive Markets, (3) Luenberger Microeconomic Theory, (4) Wang Advanced Microeconomic Theory (5) Jehle and Reny Advanced Microeconomic Theory, (6) Kreps A Course in Microeconomic Theory, (7) Munoz-Garcia Advanced Microeconomic Theory: An Intuitive Approach with Examples, (8) Varian Microeconomic Analysis, (9) Bowles Microeconomics: Behavior, Institutions, and Evolution, (10) Silberberg Suen The Structure of Economics: A Mathematical Analysis. Books 1 to 4 are more rigorous in their mathematical treatment. The other books are more intuitive even using math to different degrees.
Modern Microeconomics
Author: A. Koutsoyiannis
Edition: Second Edition.
Hal Varian - Microeconomic Analysis. My Professor recommended it during my first semester. It's a good book.
