Guideline:
Covers studies about mathematical and quantitative methods, separated from their applications. This separation enables a researcher interested in any of these methods, but not their applications, to search the appropriate literature efficiently. If a given study about these methods also includes applications, it should be cross-classified under the appropriate C category (or categories) and under the appropriate application category (or categories). Studies that apply any known econometric or quantitative method to a particular economic model should not be classified under a C category. For example, a study which uses a well established time series method should not be classified here.
Covers comprehensive or general studies about issues related to mathematical and quantitative methods. This is mainly used for comprehensive survey articles and textbooks.
