Wälde, Klaus: Applied Intertemporal Optimization. Mainz University Gutenberg Press
Edition 1.1 (2011) out now!
Top download in repec books!
This book has been a top download at repec ever since it became available in March 2009. It has always been either the #1 download (current month and 3 months) or it was among the top 3 downloads. As downloads of students in my classes do not count (they have direct access to the pdf-file without being redirected to repec), I strongly hope that this is a good indicator of quality :-)
The book can be used for teaching in third year Bachelor classes and in Master and PhD classes. PhD courses would typically focus on part III and IV. In Mainz, there is a third year Bachelor course which teaches mainly the deterministic parts I and II of this book. In the joint PhD Programme of the Universities of Darmstadt, Frankfurt and Mainz, a selection from parts I to IV with an emphasis on parts III and IV is taught in the first year in the compulsory course "mathematical methods, part 2". The book can be downloaded freely by clicking on the download button above.
