《实验心理学:通过实例入门》不仅研究实例丰富，而且对心理学实验研究的基本原则、心理学实验设计的各种模式和心理学实验研究的具体过程都论述得精辟、详细、透彻。所以，这部著作被美国一些大学心理学专业广泛采用，用做大学生和研究生的实验心理学教材，并深受心理学教授和大学生的欢迎，享有很高的声誉，也是它7次修订再版的主要原因，这正是我为《实验心理学：通过实例入门》中文版作序并推荐的理由。

This rigorous but brilliantly lucid book presents a self-contained treatment of modern economic dynamics. Stokey, Lucas, and Prescott develop the basic methods of recursive analysis and illustrate the many areas where they can usefully be applied. After presenting an overview of the recursive approach, the authors develop economic applications for deterministic dynamic programming and the stability theory of first-order difference equations. They then treat stochastic dynamic programming and the convergence theory of discrete-time Markov processes, illustrating each with additional economic applications. They also derive a strong law of large numbers for Markov processes. Finally, they present the two fundamental theorems of welfare economics and show how to apply the methods developed earlier to general equilibrium systems. The authors go on to apply their methods to many areas of economics. Models of firm and industry investment, household consumption behavior, long-run growth, capital accumulation, job search, job matching, inventory behavior, asset pricing, and money demand are among those they use to show how predictions can he made about individual and social behavior. Researchers and graduate students in economic theory will find this book essential.
