Mathematical Modelling in Economics

This volume presents a collection of more than sixty papers on mathematical economics. All papers use a model-based approach. The focus of the book is to demonstrate the state-of-the-art in modelling and research in important areas of economic theory. It is divided into four parts: Part I: Economics; Part II: Operations Research and Models of the Firm; Part III: Risk, Insurance, and Statistics; Part IV: Policy and Methodology. The papers are written by international experts who have dedicated their contributions to Wolfgang Eichhorn on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Researchers as well as graduate students interested in mathematical modelling in economics will find this book a rich source of interesting and novel results.
