It is unlikely that any frontier of economics/econometrics is being pushed 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. This volume 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.
