Books in the Ryde Lectures series

This book presents a comprehensive and authoritative summary of modern approaches to macroeconomics. The book also provides a good survey of topics which feature prominently in the research agenda. This is the first in a promising new series of Ryde Lectures, which were established by Lund University in Sweden.

Suggests a conceptual framework for studying strategic learning, one of the key theoretical developments in modern economics. This work discusses interactive learning problem; reinforcement and regret; equilibrium; conditional no-regret learning; prediction, postdiction, and calibration; fictitious play and its variants; and hypothesis testing.

'Rational Risk Policy' provides a comprehensive and accessible synthesis of Viscusi's important and well-known work on risk policy. The new material developed in this book explores the various forms of irrationality exemplified in individual risk behaviour, and the role government policy has played in institutionalising these same kinds of biases.

This title is a contribution to the growing field of computable economics. Professor Velupillai here presents a full theoretical research program based on this approach, which will interest academics in a range of areas, particularly economics, mathematics, computer science, and philosophy.
