Computability, Complexity and Constructivity in Economic Analysis (1405130784) cover image

'Economists should be vitally interested in the computational possibilities of two classes of agents: the actors in their models and themselves. There is a branch of mathematics that tells you what can be calculated and what cannot be calculated, even in principle. Economists should be interested in this branch of mathematics and rushing out in great numbers to learn all about it, yet most economists have ignored computability, constructivity, and related branches of mathematics and probability theory. K. Vela Velupillai’s welcome and important volume helps greatly by giving us a serious introduction to this field, one that is geared to the interests of economists.'

Roger Koppl, Fairleigh Dickinson University (from Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization review, 2007)
