Front Cover
3 Reviews
MIT Press, 1998 - Business & Economics - 633 pages

To harness the full power of computer technology, economists need to use a broadrange of mathematical techniques. In this book, Kenneth Judd presents techniques from the numericalanalysis and applied mathematics literatures and shows how to use them in economic analyses.The bookis divided into five parts. Part I provides a general introduction. Part II presents basics fromnumerical analysis on R^n,including linear equations, iterative methods, optimization, nonlinearequations, approximation methods, numerical integration and differentiation, and Monte Carlomethods. Part III covers methods for dynamic problems, including finite difference methods,projection methods, and numerical dynamic programming. Part IV covers perturbation and asymptoticsolution methods. Finally, Part V covers applications to dynamic equilibrium analysis, includingsolution methods for perfect foresight models and rational expectation models. A web site containssupplementary material including programs and answers to exercises.
