	Computer Industry, by George Gilder: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		If economic growth feeds on knowledge and innovation, current advances stem largely from the computer industry, a force of innovation devoted chiefly to the generation and use of knowledge.
		The microchip is a computer etched on a tiny sliver of silicon the size of a fingernail, containing scores of functioning logical devices in a space comparable not to the head of a pin, but to the point of a pin.
		Giving dominance to the United States were thousands of young people turning to the personal computer with all the energy and ingenuity that a previous generation had invested in its Model T automobiles.

	Computer Laboratory - Economics and Law
		Economic arguments are starting to appear in a surprising number of areas of computer science.
		Economics deals with mechanisms whereby global equilibria emerge from the behaviour of large numbers of agents who optimise their utility locally.
		Useful though economic arguments and explanations may be, however, there are many reasons why market mechanisms may fail, or yield an equilibrium that is far from the social optimum.

	Issues in S and T, Winter 2005, Economics, Computer Science, and Policy
		The flow of ideas between computer science and economics is traveling in both directions, as some economists have begun to apply the insights and methods of computer science to new and old problems.
		The computer scientist’s interest in economics has been accompanied by an explosion of research on algorithmic issues in economic modeling, due in large part to the fact that the economic models being entertained in computer science are often of extraordinarily large dimension.
		This is a demonstration of a common phenomenon in computer science: the empirical effectiveness of a heuristic on a specific instance of a problem that may be computationally difficult in general.

	Evolutionary Economics and Computer Simulations
		A major concern of the thesis is the methodological representation of the economic issues treated in the thesis.
		The reports are very useful instruments for users running the models, since, for each element of the model, describe their computational content and every connection with other elements.
		Instead, in order to edit the model's computational content (equations), or to create a new model, it is necessary to use a ANSI C++ compiler.

	Strategy Letter V - Joel on Software
		Computer hardware is a classic complement of computer operating systems.
		When computers become cheaper, more people buy them, and they all need operating systems, so demand for operating systems goes up, which means the price of operating systems can go up.
		But I've pulled hard drives out of IBM computers and slammed them into Dell computers and, boom, the system comes up perfectly and runs as if it were still in the old computer.

	CS 595: The Economics of Computer Systems, Networks, and Applications
		Economics is a key discipline that affects many aspects of Computer Science research.
		However, like security, most Computer Scientists assume that the economic and incentive mechanisms for computer systems, networks, and applications will be developed by others and can be added after the "real" work is done.
		The focus of this seminar is to dispel this myth by (1) investigating in what areas economics and incentive systems can have an impact on Computer Science research, and (2) surveying work that already falls into this category.
