5.0 out of 5 stars
Intuitive and practical, April 25, 2010
This review is from: Dynamic Economics: Quantitative Methods and Applications (Hardcover)
Compared to many other books relying on maths to introduce dynamic programming, Adda and Cooper's book is unique as it starts with simple and intuitive introduction, but ends with practical methods and techniques that one can use in research, which is not the focus of other books (say Stokey and Lucas book). I benefited from reading it for writing my thesis, and found that it is one of the very few books that really put dynamic programming into economic questions. The book is terse, so very handy when I need.
