BOOK



Economists can use computer algebra systems to manipulate

symbolic models, derive numerical computations, and analyze

empirical relationships among variables. Maxima is an open-source

multi-platform computer algebra system that rivals proprietary

software. Maxima's symbolic and computational capabilities enable

economists and financial analysts to develop a deeper

understanding of models by allowing them to explore the

implications of differences in parameter values, providing

numerical solutions to problems that would be otherwise

intractable, and by providing graphical representations that can

guide analysis. This book provides a step-by-step tutorial for

using this program to examine the economic relationships that

form the core of microeconomics in a way that complements

traditional modeling techniques. Readers learn how to phrase the

relevant analysis and how symbolic expressions, numerical

computations, and graphical representations can be used to learn

from microeconomic models. In particular, comparative statics

analysis is facilitated. Little has been published on Maxima and

its applications in economics and finance, and this volume will

appeal to advanced undergraduates, graduate-level students

studying microeconomics, academic researchers in economics and

finance, economists, and financial analysts
