This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the first
conference of the Society for Computational Economics held at ICC
Institute, Austin, Texas, May 21-24, 1995.
Twenty-two papers are included in this volume, devoted to applications
of computational methods for the empirical analysis of economic and
financial systems; the development of computing methodology, including
software, related to economics and finance; and the overall impact of
developments in computing. The various contributions represented in the
volume indicate the growing interest in the topic due to the increased
availability of computational concepts and tools and the necessity of
analyzing complex decision problems.
The papers in this volume are divided into four sections:
Computational methods in econometrics,
Computational methods in finance,
Computational methods for a social environment and
New computational methods.£/LIST£
