Which business textbooks are being used at Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton?

I majored in Economics at Stanford and subsequently attended Harvard Business School.

Economics courses all over America mostly use the same generic textbooks. I don't think there was anything particularly unique about what I read at Stanford or Harvard.

The ones I can remember from various classes at Stanford (undergrad) are:

Amazon.com: Investments (McGraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Est) (9780077861674): Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, Alan Marcus: Books
Amazon.com: Economics of Health and Health Care, The (7th Edition) eBook: Sherman Folland, Allen C. Goodman, Miron Stano: Books
Freakonomics Rev Ed: (and Other Riddles of Modern Life) Revised & Expand, Roughcut, Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner - Amazon.com
Amazon.com1: Microeconomics (8th Edition) (The Pearson Series in Economics) eBook: Daniel Rubinfeld, Robert Pindyck: Books
Principles of Econometrics, 4th Edition 4, R. Carter Hill, William E. Griffiths, Guay C. Lim - Amazon.com
Principles of Corporate Finance, 2nd edition (The Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insureance, and Real Estate Book 1) 11, Franklin Allen, Richard Brealey, Stewart Myers - Amazon.com
Money in International Exchange: The Convertible Currency System: Ronald I. McKinnon: 9780195024098: Amazon.com: Books

At Harvard Business School, we mainly used case studies in classes, therefore we didn't rely on textbooks per se. The following books were primarily supplemental reading material for classes I personally took:
