ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

Prospects and Problems

9781852786854 Edward Elgar Publishing
Edited by Scott Moss, former Principal Lecturer in Economics, Manchester Metropolitan University and John Rae, formerly of Information Technology Institute, University of Salford, UK
Publication Date: 1992 ISBN: 978 1 85278 685 4 Extent: 280 pp
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.

This 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.
Critical Acclaim
