Economics and Computation (by Kenneth L. Judd)

See the email by Kenneth L. Judd. It really worths a reading!

Dear Colleagues,

As you all know, the so-called leaders of the academic economics have little respect for efforts to bring modern numerical and computational methods to economics. I have created a website that discusses and documents my experiences, particularly with journals. I have no illusions about the likelihood of this changing their behavior, but it does clearly show their attitude. It may also help you deal with colleagues who similarly oppose building computational expertise in economics and inflate the value of publications in particular journals.

The website is at

I know that some will not be comfortable with this confrontational approach. In my opinion, this is appropriate given the insulting and hostile treatment that computational economists frequently experience.
