AbstractThe purpose of engineering economics is generally accepted to be helping engineers (and others)to make decisions regarding capital investment decisions. A less recognized but potentiallyfruitful purpose is to help economists better understand the workings of the economy byproviding an engineering (as opposed to econometric) view of the underlying workings of theeconomy. This paper provides a review of some literature related to this topic and somethoughts on
