abstract = "The problem of finding an econometric model expressing the mathematical relationship between empirically observed econometric variables can be viewed as a search of the space of possible computer programs for a program that produces the desired output for given inputs. This computer program can be found via the recently developed genetic programming paradigm which breeds populations of computer programs in a Darwinian competition using genetic operations such as fitness proportionate reproduction and crossover (sexual recombination). In this paper, we rediscover the well-known non-linear {"}exchange equation{"} P=F(MV,Q) relating the money supply, price level, gross national product, and velocity of money in an economy.",
