IntroductionAn economic model is a simplified description of reality,
designed to yield hypotheses about economic behavior that can be tested. An
important feature of an economic model is that it is necessarily subjective
in design because there are no objective measures of economic outcomes.
Different economists will make different judgments about what is needed to
explain their interpretations of reality. There are two broad classes of
economic models—theoretical and empirical. Theoretical models seek to
derive verifiable implications about economic behavior under the assumption
that agents maximize specific objectives subject to constraints that are
well defined in the model. They provide qualitative answers to specific
questions—such as the implications of asymmetric information (when one side
to a transaction knows more than the other) or how best to handle market
failures. In contrast, empirical models aim to verify the qualitative
predictions of theoretical models and convert these predictions to precise,
numerical outcomes. The empirical adaptation of the theoretical model would
attempt to assign a numerical value to the average amount expenditure
increases when income increases. Economic models generally consist of a set
of mathematical equations that describe a theory of economic behavior. The
aim of model builders is to include enough equations to provide useful
clues about how rational agents behave or how an economy works.
ObjectiveThis proposed publication will cover a wide variety of topics
related to economic modelling for sustainable and social development. The
purpose of the book is to provide new insights into economic development in
an era of global hypercompetition, dwindling natural resources, and a
growing global skills gap.
Target AudienceThe target audience for this publication is scholars
including professors and graduate/undergraduate students who require
information on state-of-the-art or emerging economic models which can be
used for research purposes. The secondary audience is the layperson who has
an interest in how economies work today. While having academic rigor, the
book will be written in a way such that it can also be understood by
non-academics and non-specialists who have the educational background to
comprehend the importance of the proposed publication.
