Applied Computational Economics and Finance
这本书是计算经济学和金融学方法的实用入门，通过大量代码片段和MATLAB工具箱，帮助经济学背景有限的读者快速掌握数值技术并应用于自己的模型。
The book ‘Applied Computational Economics and Finance’ by Mario Miranda and Paul Fackler is a great hands‐on introduction to selected computational methods that are useful in economics and finance. With its emphasis on practical numerical methods, its large number of code fragments, and an accompanying toolbox of MATLAB programs, this book enables economists without much prior knowledge of computational methods to quickly learn about standard numerical techniques and to apply them to their own models. The lucid discussion of many detailed examples illustrates the usefulness and applicability of the covered computational methods and will accelerate the learning process of any interested reader. The book has two quite different parts. The first, which comprises about one‐third of the book, covers basic numerical techniques such as solution methods for linear and nonlinear systems of equations, techniques for finite‐dimensional optimisation problems, and methods for numerical integration and differentiation and the approximation of functions. The second part covers solution methods for both discrete and continuous time dynamic models and illustrates them in a large number of examples. The book is accompanied by ‘CompEcon’, a toolbox of MATLAB programs that is available on the second author's web site.
