Description
This review celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Oxford Mathematical Economics Seminar. The papers have been specially commissioned from a number of scholars who have participated in the seminar in the past and have gone on to become first class economists. They are grouped into three sections: theory; theory for policy; and policy. They illustrate ways in which mathematical modelling can provide insights into economic theory. The book will be of interest to economists in the fields of econometrics, economic theory and mathematical modelling.
