Anyone know what constitutes state of the art in economic modelling these days? I'm  thinking micro stuff.

Anyone know if there are public-domain sources for Leontieff input-output coefficients?

Abacus and a finger in the air, last time I looked...

I know how to take square roots with an abacus, if you're interested.

OK, sorry for being so flippant.

What are you looking for when you say "state of the art," mathematical approaches?

With the way economics works I wasn't sure how flippant you were being.

Mathematical would be good. I'm just trying to find a way into the literature: it's always much faster to ask people than try to work out what is and isn't valuable from Google.

Well, I'm no economist, I've mostly come across it in connection with particular problems. I'll try digging around.

There is the odd reference of use in this lecture series and besides, the general topics are of interest if you're thinking about ET style stuff.

OTOH, if it's for something academic, maybe not so much.

Less of the abacus, I think.

Which finger are we talking about, exactly? "A finger" or "the finger"?
