Abstract

Young economists sometimes ask which computer programming languages theyshould learn. This paper answers that question by suggesting that they beginwith a high level language like GAUSS, GAMS, Mathematica, Maple or MATLABdepending on their field of specialization in economics. Then they should workdown to one of the low level languages such as Fortran, Basic, C, C++ or Javadepending on the planned areas of application. Finally, they should proceedto the languages which are used to develop graphical interfaces and internetapplications, viz. Visual Basic, C, C++ or Java.
