Game Theory: Introduction and Applications
- ISBN:
- 0198775024
- Authors:
- Graham Romp
Covering all the essential topics for undergraduate courses, this is the ideal student introduction to game theory. It sets out the basics of the subject in a non-technical way and uses illustrations and examples to show its application to realistic, topical, and interesting problems ranging from strategic decision-making within companies to international environmental policy-making. All explanation is clear, well structured, and entirely...
Dictionary of Mining, Mineral, and Related Terms
- ISBN:
- 0922152365
- Authors:
- American Geological Institute, U S Bureau of Mines
This new edition, containing 28,500 terms, incorporates the technological developments and environmental regulations that have changed the minerals industry so dramatically. It is the culmination of a 5-year effort incorporating not only standard mining-related terms but also terms in peripheral areas, such as the environment, marine mining, leaching, pollution, automation, health and safety. Many of these terms now have a legal definition based...
Game Theory for Applied Economists
- ISBN:
- 0691003955
- Authors:
- Robert Gibbons
This book introduces one of the most powerful tools of modern economics to a wide audience: those who will later construct or consume game-theoretic models. Robert Gibbons addresses scholars in applied fields within economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory but who may have found other works overly abstract. Gibbons emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself; formal...
Student Solutions Manual for Mathematics for Economics - 2nd Edition
- ISBN:
- 0262582015
- Authors:
- Michael Hoy, John Livernois, Chris McKenna, Ray Rees, Anthanassios Stengos
This text offers a presentation of the mathematics required to tackle problems in economic analysis. After a review of the fundamentals of sets, numbers, and functions, it covers limits and continuity, the calculus of functions of one variable, linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and dynamics.
Handbook of Computational Economics, Volume 2: Agent-Based Computational Economics (Handbooks in Economics)
- ISBN:
- 0444512535
The explosive growth in computational power over the past several decades offers new tools and opportunities for economists. This handbook volume surveys recent research on Agent-based Computational Economics (ACE), the computational study of economic processes modeled as dynamic systems of interacting agents. Empirical referents for "agents" in ACE models can range from individuals or social groups with learning capabilities to physical world...
Computable Economics (Arne Ryde Memorial Lectures)
- ISBN:
- 0198295278
- Authors:
- Kumaraswamy Velupillai
In the field of economic analysis, computability in the formation of economic hypotheses is seen as the way forward. In this book, Professor Velupillai implements a theoretical research program along these lines. Choice theory, learning rational expectations equlibria, the persistence of adaptive behavior, arithmetical games, aspects of production theory, and economic dynamics are given recursion theoretic (i.e. computable) interpretations.
Applied Computational Economics and Finance
- ISBN:
- 0262134209
- Authors:
- Mario J. Miranda, Paul L. Fackler
This book presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. It emphasizes 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...
