It is a rather complicated dynamic discrete model (an economics application).
The most sophisticated existing applications in the literature all use
the FORTRAN for this type of problem. I have spoken (somewhat briefly)
to one of the worlds leading expert on this sort of problem, and the
professor assured me that the FORTRAN is the most suitable language
here.
