Описание: Experimental methods in economics respond to circumstances that are not completely dictated by accepted theory or outstanding problems. This book reflects the spirit of adventure that experimentalists share and focuses on experiments in general rather than forcing an organization into traditional categories that do not fit.

Описание:
A rigorous introduction to optimal control theory, with an emphasis on applications in economics.
This book bridges optimal control theory and economics, discussing ordinary differential equations, optimal control, game theory, and mechanism design in one volume. Technically rigorous and largely self-contained, it provides an introduction to the use of optimal control theory for deterministic continuous-time systems in economics. The theory of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is the backbone of the theory developed in the book, and chapter 2 offers a detailed review of basic concepts in the theory of ODEs, including the solution of systems of linear ODEs, state-space analysis, potential functions, and stability analysis. Following this, the book covers the main results of optimal control theory, in particular necessary and sufficient optimality conditions; game theory, with an emphasis on differential games; and the application of control-theoretic concepts to the design of economic mechanisms. Appendixes provide a mathematical review and full solutions to all end-of-chapter problems.
The material is presented at three levels: single-person decision making; games, in which a group of decision makers interact strategically; and mechanism design, which is concerned with a designer's creation of an environment in which players interact to maximize the designer's objective. The book focuses on applications; the problems are an integral part of the text. It is intended for use as a textbook or reference for graduate students, teachers, and researchers interested in applications of control theory beyond its classical use in economic growth. The book will also appeal to readers interested in a modeling approach to certain practical problems involving dynamic continuous-time models.
In this spirited and provocative book, Edward Leamer turns an examinationof the Heckscher--Ohlin framework for global competition into an opportunity toconsider the craft of economics: what economists do, what they should do, and whatthey shouldn't do. Claiming "a lifetime relationship withHeckscher--Ohlin," Leamer argues that Bertil Ohlin's original idea offeredsomething useful though vague and not necessarily valid; the economists who latertranslated his ideas into mathematical theorems offered something precise and validbut not necessarily useful. He argues further that the best economists keep formaland informal thinking in balance. An Ohlinesque mostly prose style can let in faultythinking and fuzzy communication; a mostly math style allows misplaced emphasis andopaque communication. Leamer writes that today's model- and math-driven economicsneeds more prose and less math. Leamer shows that the Heckscher--Ohlin framework isstill useful, and that there is still much work to be done with it. But he issues acaveat about economists: "What we do is not science, it's fiction andjournalism." Economic theory, he writes, is fiction (stories, loosely connectedto the facts); data analysis is journalism (facts, loosely connected to thestories). Rather than titling the two sections of his book Theory and Evidence, hecalls them Economic Fiction and Econometric Journalism, explaining, "If youfind that startling, that's good. I am trying to keep you awake."

Описание:
A rigorous but nontechnical treatment of major topics in urban economics.
Lectures on Urban Economics offers a rigorous but nontechnical treatment of major topics in urban economics. To make the book accessible to a broad range of readers, the analysis is diagrammatic rather than mathematical. Although nontechnical, the book relies on rigorous economic reasoning. In contrast to the cursory theoretical development often found in other textbooks, Lectures on Urban Economics offers thorough and exhaustive treatments of models relevant to each topic, with the goal of revealing the logic of economic reasoning while also teaching urban economics.
Topics covered include reasons for the existence of cities, urban spatial structure, urban sprawl and land-use controls, freeway congestion, housing demand and tenure choice, housing policies, local public goods and services, pollution, crime, and quality of life. Footnotes throughout the book point to relevant exercises, which appear at the back of the book. These 22 extended exercises (containing 125 individual parts) develop numerical examples based on the models analyzed in the chapters. Lectures on Urban Economics is suitable for undergraduate use, as background reading for graduate students, or as a professional reference for economists and scholars interested in the urban economics perspective.
An examination of the role of theory in applied econometrics.
Econometrics is a study of good and bad ways to measure economic relations. In this book, Bernt Stigum considers the role that economic theory ought to play in such measurements and proposes a formal science of economics that provides the means to solve the measurement problems faced by econometric researchers. After describing the salient parts of a formal science of economics, Stigum compares its methods with the methods of contemporary applied econometrics. His goal is to develop a basis for meaningful discussion of the best way to incorporate economic theory in empirical analysis.
Stigum conceives two scenarios for research in applied econometrics: contemporary econometrics in the tradition of Trygve Haavelmo and the formal theory-data confrontation envisioned by Ragnar Frisch. Stigum presents case studies of economic phenomena, contrasting the empirical analysis prescribed by contemporary applied econometrics with the empirical analysis prescribed by a formal theory-data confrontation. He finds significant and provocative differences. Which are we to believe when the statistical analyses of these two methodologies yield very different descriptions of the behavior characteristics of data variables and inferences about social reality?
Stigum points to three aspects of contemporary econometric methodology that may benefit from serious discussions: the analysis of positively valued time series, a suspect characteristic of qualitative response models, and the search for linearly cointegrated time series. These three aspects are of as much concern to formal econometrics as they are to contemporary econometrics.

Описание: This book presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. It emphasises practical numerical methods
rather than mathematical proofs and focuses on techniques that apply directly to economic analyses. The examples are drawn from a wide range of subspecialties of economics and
finance, with particular emphasis on problems in agricultural and resource economics, macroeconomics, and finance.
The book's Web site provides an extensive Web-site
library of computer utilities and demonstration programs. The book is divided into two parts. The first part develops basic numerical methods, including linear and nonlinear equation
methods, complementarity methods, finite-dimensional optimisation, numerical integration and differentiation, and function approximation.
The second part presents methods for
solving dynamic stochastic models in economics and finance, including dynamic programming, rational expectations, and arbitrage pricing models in discrete and continuous time. The
book uses MATLAB to illustrate the algorithms and includes a utilities toolbox to help readers develop their own computational economics applications. The book's Web site can be
found at .
