"The book succeeds perfectly at enhancing the creativity and productivity of students in economics and related fields by clearly circumventing the traditional approach. The problems presented will attract the students' attention and provide motivation for further work."--Manfred Gilli, University of Geneva, Switzerland
"Computational Economics is a pioneering textbook by the world leaders in the field."--Alan S. Manne, Stanford University
