Learning outcomes
The students will be familiar with philosophy of modelling social and economics proceses by means of selected software tools.
Student will be able to apply methods of synthesis of a mathematical model of an economic process which is usually complicated nonlinear dynamic system. Student will be able to use evolutionary models and Box-Jenkins methodology. Student will be able to give reasons for proposed solutions.
