Description for Computational Economics
Hardback. Designed to help move from verbal to mathematical to computational representations in economic modeling, this book is organized around economic topics as macroeconomics, microeconomics, and finance. It employs software systems, including MATLAB, Mathematica, GAMS, the nonlinear programming solver in Excel, and the database systems in Access. Num Pages: 456 pages, 112 line illus. 36 tables. BIC Classification: KC; UY. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 178 x 30. Weight in Grams: 942.
The ability to conceptualize an economic problem verbally, to formulate it as a mathematical model, and then represent the mathematics in software so that the model can be solved on a computer is a crucial skill for economists. Computational Economics contains well-known models--and some brand-new ones--designed to help students move from verbal to mathematical to computational representations in economic modeling. The authors' focus, however, is not just on solving the models, but also on developing the ability to modify them to reflect one's interest and point of view. The result is a book that enables students to be creative in ... Read more
