Generally we can distinguish between two types of comparative statics problems that have been approached with lattice programming methods. The first type of problem considers the change of the optimal solution to a maximization problem as the objective function changes, the other type the change...

The literature on supermodular optimization and games is surveyed from the perspective of potential users in economics. This methodology provides a new approach for comparative statics based only on critical assumptions, and allows a general analysis of games with strategic complementarities....
