Clopper Almon, The Craft of Economic Modeling, Part 3

Chiang, Alpha C. : Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics, 3. Aufl. , New. York 1984. Elegant Yet Lucid Writing Style: Chiang?s strength is the eloquence of the writing and the manner in which it is developed. While the content of the text can be difficult, it is understandable. Meshes Sophisticated with the Accessible: Sophisticated material is presented in the text, but not a lot of prior knowledge is assumed. The background needed fo...

Publisher: Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2004. - 504 Pages. Although there are hundreds of books about MATLAB, there are no books that fully explore its value in the field of business economics. Few books describe how geographic information can be explicitly incorporated in business decisions, or explain how sophisticated MATLAB applications can be provided to users via the Internet using a remote-hosted, thin client environment.Business, Economics an...

Department of Economics University of Maryland, Fifth Edition, January 2008 This is a book about how to build models of a business, an industry, or the whole economy. It explains techniques used both in simple, single-equation models for forecasting the sales of a single product of a single company and also in complex, many-equation models of an entire economy or of the world. The principal example in the first two parts of the book is a macroeco...

Department of Economics University of Maryland Draft of April 2004 In Part 1, we developed a very simple model and suggested some directions in which it could be expanded. In the present chapter, we will carry out some of the suggestions while trying to follow the good advice of the last chapter of Part 1. In particular, our model will refine the consumption and employment functions presented previously. divide fixed investment into three major c...

Sрringer, 2002. - 392 pages. In Part I, the fundamentals of financial thinking and elementary mathematical methods of finance are presented. The method of presentation is simple enough to bridge the elements of financial arithmetic and complex models of financial math developed in the later parts. It covers characteristics of cash flows, yield curves, and valuation of securities. Part II is devoted to the allocation of funds and risk management...

The McGraw-Hill Companies – 2010, 528 pages ISBN: 0071663703 If we have learned anything from the global financial collapse of 2008, it is this: the mathematical risk models currently used by financial institutions are no longer adequate quantitative measures of risk exposure. In The Risk Modeling Evaluation Handbook, an international team of 48 experts evaluates the problematic risk-modeling methods used by large financial institutions and brea...

Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 0387895515 | 294 pages "Mathematical Optimization and Economic Analysis" is a self-contained introduction to various optimization techniques used in economic modeling and analysis such as geometric, linear, and convex programming and data envelopment analysis. Through a systematic approach, this book demonstrates the usefulness of these mathematical tools in quantitative and qualitative economic analysis. The book present...

Springer, 2008. - 664 pages. This book on scheduling covers theoretical models as well as scheduling problems in the real world. The book consists of three parts. The first part focuses on deterministic scheduling with the associated combinatorial problems. The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models. In this part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data are not known in advance. The third part deals with scheduling...

Springer – 2009, 702 pages ISBN: 3540262121 The benchmark approach provides a general framework for financial market modeling, which extends beyond the standard risk-neutral pricing theory. It permits a unified treatment of portfolio optimization, derivative pricing, integrated risk management and insurance risk modeling. The existence of an equivalent risk-neutral pricing measure is not required. Instead, it leads to pricing formulae with respe...

Wiley | 2010 | ISBN: 0470530677 | 528 pages Now in its third edition, Management Science helps business professionals gain the essential skills needed to develop real expertise in business modeling. The biggest change in the text is the conversion of software from Crystal Ball to Risk Solver to reflect changes in the field. More coverage of management science topics has been added. Broader coverage of Excel demonstrates how to create models. Addi...
