Computational economics

Computational economics is a research discipline at the interface of computer science, economics, and management science. Areas and subjects encompassed include computational modeling of economic systems, whether agent-based, general-equilibrium,  macroeconomic, or rational-expectations, computational econometrics and statistics, computational finance, computational tools for the design of automated internet markets, programming tools specifically designed for computational economics, and pedagogical tools for the teaching of computational economics. Some of these areas are unique to computational economics, while others extend traditional areas of economics by solving problems that are difficult to study without the use of computers and associated numerical methods.
