Computational Methods for the Study of Dynamic Economies


Add your own review!

Overview

Macroeconomics increasingly uses stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models to understand theoretical and policy issues. Unless very strong assumptions are made, understanding the properties of particular models requires solving the model using a computer. This volume brings together leading contributors in the field who explain in detail how to implement the computational techniques needed to solve dynamic economics models. A broad spread of techniques are covered, and their application in a wide range of subjects discussed. The book provides the basics of a toolkit which researchers and graduate students can use to solve and analyse their own theoretical models.

Reviews

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
