They are using conjoint analysis to choose the product's features that will optimize profit returns. In 1967, I wrote my first edition of Marketing Management (now in the . Quantitative economics is a field of study where mathematics, in particular optimization, statistics, algorithms and complexity theory is used as a tool for analyzing and designing economic systems. In the process, I'll be referring to Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen's The Entropy Law and the Economic Process (1971) and Mathematical Optimization and Economic Theory, by Michael Intriligator (1971). When I participated in a year-long Ford Foundation program at Harvard in advanced mathematics, I met some marketing professors and realized that the discipline of marketing was the missing link in economic theory and practice. Red Plenty is also (what is a rather different thing) a work of scientist fiction . More than that, it's a work of science fiction, where the strangeness of the world comes from its being reshaped by technology and scientific ideas --- here, mathematical and economic ideas. The conference topics address all theoretical, computational and practical aspects of mathematical optimization including: logistics, traffic and transportation, telecommunications, energy systems, finance and economics. Much of economic theory is currently presented in terms of mathematical economic models, a set of stylized and simplified mathematical relationships that clarify assumptions and implications. Indeed one of the important roles of economic theory is to keep track of benefits and costs. The journal Energy Systems presents mathematical programming, control, and economic approaches towards energy systems related topics, and is especially relevant in light of the major worldwide challenges confronting humanity in The text includes mathematical theory and algorithms for stochastic optimization methods applied to energy problems, as well as modeling issues such as process optimization, synthesis, design and operation. Subsequent work in optimization theory lets us get away, a bit, from requiring complete and perfectly accurate knowledge in stage (II). I indicated above that the sorts of optimizing models used by economists serve the purpose of providing guidance for policy choices.
