** Economists cash in on efficient, high-performance computing method
Simone Ulmer | phys.org | 22 February, 2018
------------------------------------------------------------
Economists have previously made little use of high-performance computers (HPC) in their 
research. This is despite the fact that the complex interactions and heterogeneity of 
their models can quickly cause them to reach hundreds of dimensions, which cannot be 
calculated using conventional methods ...
