Review
'The new edition is completely re-ordered, and the introductory material is now beautifully argued. It now affords a relaxed beginning to concave programming.' Peter Lambert, The Economic Journal, July 1991
From the Back Cover
This revised edition includes a new chapter on uncertainty, with applications to portfolio selection and the economics of information, and a fuller treatment of dynamic programming, with applications to search theory.The book is aimed at second and third year undergraduates taking macroeconomics courses with some quantitative content. It should also provide a simpler alternative to many postgraduate texts.
