Description
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 developing models that are relevant to the economic problems of their times.
Unlike other computational economics textbooks, this book is organized around economic topics, among them macroeconomics, microeconomics, and finance. The authors employ various software systems--including MATLAB, Mathematica, GAMS, the nonlinear programming solver in Excel, and the database systems in Access--to enable students to use the most advantageous system. The book progresses from relatively simple models to more complex ones, and includes appendices on the ins and outs of running each program.
The book is intended for use by advanced undergraduates and professional economists and even, as a first exposure to computational economics, by graduate students.
- Organized by economic topics
- Progresses from simple to more complex models
- Includes instructions on numerous software systems
- Encourages customization and creativity

描述
將經濟問題以口語方式概念化，將其制定為數學模型，然後將數學表示轉化為軟體，以便在電腦上解決模型，對於經濟學家來說，這是一項至關重要的技能。《計算經濟學》包含了一些著名的模型，以及一些全新的模型，旨在幫助學生從口語到數學到計算的經濟建模過程中轉變。然而，作者的重點不僅僅在於解決這些模型，還在於培養修改模型以反映自己興趣和觀點的能力。結果是一本能夠讓學生在發展與當代經濟問題相關的模型方面具有創造力的書籍。
與其他計算經濟學教材不同，這本書以經濟主題為組織架構，包括宏觀經濟學、微觀經濟學和金融學等。作者使用各種軟體系統，包括MATLAB、Mathematica、GAMS、Excel中的非線性規劃求解器和Access中的數據庫系統，使學生能夠使用最有利的系統。本書從相對簡單的模型進展到更複雜的模型，並包含有關運行每個程序的詳細說明。
本書適用於高年級本科生和專業經濟學家，甚至可以作為研究生首次接觸計算經濟學的教材。
- 按經濟主題組織
- 從簡單到複雜的模型進展
- 包含多種軟體系統的使用指南
- 鼓勵自定義和創造力
