Modern Econometric Analysis: Surveys on Recent Developments
Traditional econometric analysis concentrate on classical methods which are far from suitable handling actual economic problems. Modern econometric analysis tries to develop new approaches from an economic perspective. As a consequence, there is less of a unified econometric theory than in former times. Specific branches which require specific methods have been established.
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are used to describe a large variety of physical phenomena, from fluid flow to electromagnetic fields, and are indispensable to such disparate fields as aircraft simulation and computer graphics. While most existing texts on PDEs deal with either analytical or numerical aspects of PDEs, this innovative and comprehensive textbook features a unique approach that integrates analysis and numerical solution methods and includes a third component—modeling—to address real-life problems.
