書名：Applied Computational Economics and Finance
作者：Mario J. Miranda、Paul L. Fackler
出版者：MIT Press

內容簡介
This book presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. It emphasizes practical numerical methods rather than mathematical proofs and focuses on techniques that apply directly to economic analyses. The examples are drawn from a wide range of subspecialties of economics and finance, with particular emphasis on problems in agricultural and resource economics, macroeconomics, and finance. The book also provides an extensive Web-site library of computer utilities and demonstration programs.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part develops basic numerical methods, including linear and nonlinear equation methods, complementarity methods, finite-dimensional optimization, numerical integration and differentiation, and function approximation. The second part presents methods for solving dynamic stochastic models in economics and finance, including dynamic programming, rational expectations, and arbitrage pricing models in discrete and continuous time. The book uses MATLAB to illustrate the algorithms and includes a utilities toolbox to help readers develop their own computational economics applications.

書名：The origin of Financial Crises: Central Banks, Credit Bubbles and the Efficient Market Fallacy
作者：George Cooper
出版者：Ingram Pub Services

本書獲得Amazon 5顆星評價。

內容簡介
"A well written book ... Cooper's most novel doctrine is that investors do not have to be irrational to generate bubbles." -- Financial Times "Financial Times"
The origin of Financial Crises provides a compelling analysis of the forces behind today's economic crisis. In a series of disarmingly simple arguments George Cooper challenges the core principles of today's economic orthodoxy, explaining why financial markets do not obey the efficient market principles described in today's economic textbooks but are instead inherently unstable and habitually crisis prone.

書名：Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism
作者：Kevin Phillips
出版者：Viking Adult

本書為美國最大的零售書店Barnes & Noble Inc. 金融危機時期排行前五名的暢銷書之一。詳載了美國經濟分崩離析的過程。

內容簡介
The bestselling author reveals how the U.S. financial sector has hijacked our economy and put America’s global future at risk
“Bad money” refers to a new phenomenon in wayward megafinance—the emergence of a U.S. economy that is globally dependent and dominated by hubris-driven financial services. Also “bad” are the risk miscalculations and strategic abuses of new multitrillion-dollar products such as asset-backed securities and the lure of buccaneering vehicles like hedge funds. Finally, the U.S. dollar has been turned into bad money as it has weakened and become vulnerable to the world’s other currencies. In all these ways, “bad” finance has failed the American people and pointed U.S. capitalism toward a global crisis. Bad Money is the perfect follow- up to Phillips’s last book, whose dire warnings are now proving frighteningly accurate. (摘錄自Amazon.com)
