Description
Book SynopsisThis important book presents new and original work at the frontiers of economics - namely the interface between artificial intelligence (AI) and neoclassical economics.
Artificial Intelligence and Economic Analysis focuses on three quite distinct lines of AI orientated research in economics: applications intended to extend neoclassical theory, applications intended to undermine neoclassical theory and applications which ignore neoclassical theory in the quest for new modelling techniques and fields of analysis. The contributors - all of whom are well established in the field - seek to identify those areas where the science of artificial intelligence could enrich standard economic analysis. It includes material from mainstream economists who are willing to express their own views about the limits of mainstream economic modelling and AI based economic modelling.
The book makes an important contribution to a new and exciting area of economics which holds much hope for the future.
Trade Review'It provides interesting reading and a source of speculation for those who hope to find uses for AI techniques in economic research.' -- Kent D. Wall, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization
