Economists are increasingly using computer simulations to understand the implications of their theoretical models and to make policy recommendations. This volume brings together leaders in the field who explain how to implement the computational techniques needed to solve dynamic economics models.
Editorial Reviews
Review
`Review from previous edition An excellent introduction to computational methods for the study of stochastic rational expectations models. Leading researchers in the field cover the main numerical techniques currently applied in the computation of business cycle and growth models. Possibly the greatest merit of this volume is to provide a basis for graduate students from which they can start their own research.’ Dr Burkhard Heer, KYKLOS
