Description: The approach to many problems in economic analysis has drastically changed with the development and dissemination of new and more efficient computational techniques. Computational Economic Systems: Models, Methods & Econometrics constitutes a selection of papers illustrating the use of new computational methods and computing techniques to solve economic problems.

Part I of the volume consists of papers which focus on modelling economic systems, presenting computational methods to investigate the evolution of behavior of economic agents, techniques to solve complex inventory models on a parallel computer and an original approach for the construction and solution of multicriteria models involving logical conditions.

Contributions in Part II concern new computational approaches to economic problems. We find an application of wavelets to outlier detection. New estimation algorithms are presented, one concerning seemingly related regression models, a second one on nonlinear rational expectation models and a third one dealing with switching GARCH estimation. Three contributions contain original approaches for the solution of nonlinear rational expectation models.
