About this title

Review

'An Introduction to Economic Dynamics by Ronald Shone does a nice job of making the basic ideas of dynamic economics available to a wider range of student by using spreadsheets. It proceeds primarily by example, taken from a wide area of economics. This grounding of the methods in real world examples provides a much livelier discussion for students and presents an innovative introduction to the more advanced methods of economic analysis.' Steven Turnovsky, University of Washington

'Shone's book is based on the philosophy of learning by experimentation. This book, together with a web site with additional downloadable material, provides a modern learning environment which makes economic dynamics even more fun both for undergraduate students and their teachers.' Professor Cars Hommes, Center for Nonlinear Dynamics in Economics and Finance (CeNDEF), Department of Economics and Econometrics, University of Amsterdam

Book Description

Shone approaches the subject with the belief that true understanding of a subject can only be achieved by students themselves setting out a problem and manipulating it experimentally.
