Modern business cycle theory and growth theory uses stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models. In order to solve these models, economists need to use many mathematical tools. This book presents various methods in order to compute the dynamics of general equilibrium models.In part I, the representative-agent stochastic growth model is solved with the help of value function iteration, linear and linear quadratic approximation methods, parameterised expectations and projection methods. In order to apply these methods, fundamentals from numerical analysis are reviewed in detail.In part II, the authors discuss methods in order to solve heterogeneous-agent economies. This part of the book also serves as an introduction to the modern theory of distribution economics. Applications include the dynamics of the income distribution over the business cycle or the demographic transition in a large-scale overlapping generations model.In an accompanying home page to this book, computer codes to all applications can be downloaded.

The highly prized ability to make financial plans with some certainty about the future comes from the core fields of economics. In recent years the availability of more data, analytical tools of greater precision, and ex post studies of business decisions have increased demand for information about economic forecasting. Volumes 2A and 2B, which follows Nobel laureate Clive Granger''s Volume 1 (2006), concentrate on two major subjects.Volume 2A covers innovations in methodologies, specifically macroforecasting and forecasting financial variables. Volume 2B investigates commercial applications, with sections on forecasters'' objectives and methodologies. Experts provide surveys of a large range of literature scattered across applied and theoretical statistics journals as well as econometrics and empirical economics journals.The Handbook of Economic Forecasting Volumes 2A and 2B provide a unique compilation of chapters giving a coherent overview of forecasting theory and applications in one place and with up-to-date accounts of all major conceptual issues.

Steven Levitt, the original rogue economist, and Stephen Dubner have spent four years uncovering the hidden side of even more controversial subjects, from terrorism to shark attacks, cable TV to hurricanes. The result is Superfreakonomics. It reveals, among other things:- Why you are more likely to be killed walking drunk than driving drunk.- How a prostitute is more likely to sleep with a policeman than be arrested by one.- Why terrorists might be easier to track down than you would imagine.- How a sex change could boost your salary.Because sometimes the most superfreaky solution is the simplest.

Aparte la modalidad específica de diccionario, presentada bajo la original estructura de consulta simultánea a los seis idiomas, se han preparado unos complementos de terminología por materias. Su objeto es evidente: facilitar en casos de especializacion -sea al escribir o al traducir- la presentacion mas amplia posible de un conjunto de voces relacionadas con el tema. Esto evita la enojosa consulta arriba y abajo del diccionario y faculta una mayor fluidez de expresion al tener a mano tantas palabras relacionadas con el tema.

The Great Financial Crash had cataclysmic effects on the global economy, and took conventional economists completely by surprise. Many leading commentators declared shortly before the crisis that the magical recipe for eternal stability had been found. Less than a year later, the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression erupted. In this explosive book, Steve Keen, one of the very few economists who anticipated the crash, shows why the self-declared experts were wrong and how ever rising levels of private debt make another financial crisis almost inevitable unless politicians tackle the real dynamics causing financial instability.
