"This book collects frontier work by researchers in computational economics in a tribute to Manfred Gilli, a leading member of this community. Contributions cover many of the topics researched by Gilli during his career: portfolio optimization and option pricing, estimation and classification, as well as banking, risk and macroeconomic modeling. The editors have put together a remarkable panorama of the rapidly growing and diversifying field of computational economics and finance."
