Optimal Transport Methods in Economics is the first textbook on the subject written especially for students and researchers in economics‎.‎ Optimal transport theory is used widely to solve problems in mathematics and some areas of the sciences‎,‎ but it can also be used to understand a range of problems in applied economics‎,‎ such as the matching between job seekers and jobs‎,‎ the determinants of real estate prices‎,‎ and the formation of matrimonial unions‎.‎ This is the first text to develop clear applications of optimal transport to economic modeling‎,‎ statistics‎,‎ and econometrics‎.‎ It covers the basic results of the theory as well as their relations to linear programming‎,‎ network flow problems‎,‎ convex analysis‎,‎ and computational geometry‎.‎ Emphasizing computational methods‎,‎ it also includes programming examples that provide details on implementation‎.‎ Applications include discrete choice models‎,‎ models of differential demand‎,‎ and quantile‎-based statistical estimation methods‎,‎ as well as asset pricing models‎.‎Authoritative and accessible‎,‎ Optimal Transport Methods in Economics also features numerous exercises throughout that help you develop your mathematical agility‎,‎ deepen your computational skills‎,‎ and strengthen your economic intuition‎.‎The first introduction to the subject written especially for economistsIncludes programming examplesFeatures numerous exercises throughoutIdeal for students and researchers alike
