Beskrivning

This is an introductory book that targets the reader who has the ambition to apply economic analysis but may be missing a technical introduction to its mathematical techniques or seeks a structured elaboration of its philosophical principles. The book juxtaposes economic analysis with moral philosophy, political theory, egalitarianism, and other methodological principles and then passes to the details of methods such as model-building, derivatives, differential equations, statistical tests, and the use of computer programs.

Recensioner i media

The merits of this volume by Professor Georgakopolos are many. The chapters are clearly organized and well written. His explications of statistical techniques and quantitative argumentation are very clear and should be easy for students, even those with no background in economics or statistics, to follow. Daniel H. Cole, Indiana University School of Law
