Inhaltsangabe
Today's students are expected to use computers and familiarise themselves with word-processing and spreadsheet packages in their work. They are also expected to be able to use the Internet for e-mail and accessing information on the Web. In fact, some lecturers use the Web to provide course notes or even deliver parts of the course interactively. Most available computer books are too general and often miss out features that would be particularly helpful to economists. In fact, they don't show how such tools can be used in economics.
This textbook fills a need for a computing and IT book aimed specifically at undergraduate economics students. It bridges the gap between IT literacy and the use of hardware, software and other resources in learning and doing economics. The main focus is on the tools and the resources that are particularly relevant to economists with examples of their use and suggestions of how to apply and exploit them in applications in economics.
FEATURES
Assumes no previous computing background - the book will adopt a practical and applied approach with emphasis on the software used by economists and how they use it.
Use of examples and applications will allow readers to learn by doing and develop their computing skills.
The book will be written in a concise and informal style with the use of screen grabs and text boxes.
www.wiley.co.uk/judge - a Website containing solutions to exercises, PowerPoint slides and other supplementary material for instructors. The site will also have an archive for data used in the book and be a means of updating information.
CONTENTS: Introduction: Tools, Tasks, Resources and Skills; Beginning to Work with Computers in Economics; Building on the Basics: Skills Development; Spreadsheets for Economists; The Internet for Economists; Statistics and Econometrics Software for Economists; More Advanced Computing Skills for Economists.

"A unique book, essential to any economist's toolkit. From the level of the absolute beginner, and in a very user-friendly style, it takes the reader step by step through the entire range of computing skills essential to the study of economics. The book answers innumerable questions and saves many hours otherwise typically squandered on 'trial and error' methods of mastering software. Almost any economics student, whatever their level, will learn something new from this book." Geoff Renshaw, Lecturer in Economics, University of Warwick
"This book is impressive for the comprehensiveness and clarity of its explanations of mainly Windows applications of personal computer research tools for economists. Its accessibility to those with diverse computer literacy will raise the bar of the skills instructors can reasonable expect of their students without sacrificing valuable class time or having to prepare elaborate handouts to level the playing field. Its extensive examples will teach students a good deal of ecomonics as well as enriching their research abilities." Arnie Katz, Economics Professor Emeritus, University of Pittsburhg
"A goldmine of skills for every aspiring economist. Something for everyone." Ron Shone, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Stirling
