****** CALL FOR PAPERS ******
Society for Computational Economics
announces the
Third International Conference
on
"COMPUTING IN ECONOMICS AND FINANCE"
Stanford, CA, June 30 - July 2, 1997
The Third International Conference on Computing in Economics and
Finance, organized under the auspices of the Society for
Computational Economics, will be held at the HooverInstitution at
Stanford University from June 30 through July 2, 1997. We invite
participation from all branches of economics and finance, and
related areas in computer science, operations research, statistics,
and mathematics, in both the academic and business worlds.
Presentations will cover both quantitative and empirical methods
for economics and finance including, but not limited to, optimization,
linear and nonlinear equations, computationally intensive statistical
methods, option pricing, CGE modelling, neural networks, agent-based
economics, rational expectations modelling, computation of Nash
equilibrium, variational inequalities, genetic algorithms, simulation
methods, automatic differentiation, Bayesian methods, databases,
network economics, option pricing, and artificial intelligence.
Those unacquainted with the SCE and this conference series should
consult the web page
http://www.unige.ch/ce/ce96/ which describes the
program from the Second International Conference on Computing in
Economics and Finance held in Geneva, Switzerland, in June, 1996,
or the page
http://www.unige.ch/ce/austin/ which describes the
program from the previous meeting held in Austin, Texas, in 1995.
Individuals who wish to present papers should submit
abstracts or finished papers to:
