[ Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics] is a tour de force. The authors present a unified approach to the techniques and applications of recursive economic theory. The presentations of discrete-time dynamic programming and of Markov processes are authoritative. There is a wide-ranging series of examples drawn from all branches of the discipline, but with special emphasis on macroeconomics. In the short run, the book will be a vital reference in any advanced course in macroeconomic theory. In the long run, it may help to remove the traditional boundaries between microeconomic theory and macroeconomic theory. -- Andrew Caplin, Columbia University [ Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics] is a wonderful collection of results on the techniques of dynamic programming with great applications to economics written by giants in the field. -- Sanford J. Grossman, University of Pennsylvania A magnificent work that is bound to have immense influence on the ways economists think about dynamic systems for many years to come. My own guess is that [ Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics] will eventually acquire the stature, say, of Hickss Value and Capital or Samuelsons Foundations. -- Thomas J. Sargent, The Hoover Institution
