Synopsis
It is unlikely that any frontier of economics/econometrics is being pushed faster, further than that of computational techniques. The computer has become a tool for performing as well as an environment in which to perform economics and econometrics, taking over where theory bogs down, allowing at least approximate answers to questions that defy closed mathematical or analytical solutions. Tasks may now be attempted that were hitherto beyond human potential, and all the forces available can now be marshalled efficiently, leading to the achievement of desired goals.
Computational Techniques for Econometrics and Economic Analysis is a collection of recent studies which exemplify all these elements, demonstrating the power that the computer brings to the economic analysts. The book is divided into four parts: 1 — the computer and econometric methods; 2 — the computer and economic analysis; 3 — computational techniques for econometrics; and 4 — the computer and econometric studies.

The computer has become both a tool for doing and an environment in which to do economics and econometrics, allowing at least approximate answers to questions that defy closed mathematical or analytical solutions. This volume provides a collection of recent studies which demonstrate the power that the computer brings to economic analysis. The volume is divided into four parts: the computer and econometric methods; the computer and economic analysis; computational techniques for econometrics; and the computer and econometric studies.
