Description
Commissioned to celebrate the centenary of the Royal Economic Society and "The Economic Journal", this book comprises a collection of 22 essays from leading economists on the way the study of economics is likely to develop over the next 100 years. Topics covered include the nature of economists' beliefs and assumptions, the status of theoretical and applied work, the way econometrics and forecasting can affect economies, changes in the economics industry, and the requirements of the next generation of students.

These include decision theory, game theory and equilibrium theory.
