ECO 310 - Basic Computational Methods in Economics
A first course in the computational and graphical techniques for finding numerical solutions to a small set of economic models (such as the Edgeworth Box) based on concepts and constructs presented in the intermediate microeconomics course. Includes the foundations of programming (using a symbolic algebra language), and finding maxima of functions, finding equilibria of markets, and exploring and fitting functions graphically. Emphasis is put on understanding the connections between the concepts, the algebra, the computation, and the graphical presentation of economic models and on using the numerical models to perform experiments.
4 credits
Prerequisite(s): C or higher in ECO 303 and ECO 305
