This paper discusses issues related to GPU for economic problems. It highlights new methodologies and resources that are available for solving and estimating economic models and emphasizes situations when they are useful and others where they are impractical. Two examples illustrate the...

Dynamic programming is the essential tool in dynamic economic analysis. Problems such as portfolio allocation for individuals and optimal economic growth are typical examples. Numerical methods typically approximate the value function. Recent work has focused on making numerical methods more...

We use dynamic programming, finite elements, and parallel computing to design and evaluate two-dimensional financial derivatives. Our dynamic program is flexible, as it divides the evaluation process into two components: one related to the dynamics of the underlying process and the other to the...
