The journals that I´m currently trying to follow, reading and studying the papers are (specially because they are avaiable in pdf format to me):

  1. Finance and Stochastics (from Springer) http://link.springer.com/journal/780
  2. Computational Economics (from Springer) http://link.springer.com/journal/10614

Journals that I should follow, but will most certainly not have enough time to read and study the articles in full detail (alphabetical order):
  1. Applied Financial Economics Letters
  2. Applied Mathematical Finance
  3. Journal of Simulation - http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jos/journal/v8/n4/index.html
  4. The Journal of Computational Finance - http://www.risk.net/type/journal/source/journal-of-computational-finance. I should follow this one more closely BUT it is now avaiable (to me) in pdf format, only in paper, so I will end up not reading it. 
  5. The Journal of Derivatives - http://www.iijournals.com/toc/jod/current
Regarding pages where can be found interesting research (that unfortunatelly I will also not follow more closely) it can be mentioned:
  1. prof.Edson de O.Pamplona page on Unifei - Interesting website with articles on cost analysis - http://www.iepg.unifei.edu.br/edson/pesquisa.htm#producao.
  2. prof.Petr Dostál website on Decision Making, Soft Computing and Fuzzy Logic - Nice collection of papers on quantitative methods applied to decision making. Special notice on fuzzy logic applications, but also some papers on chaos theory.
  3. Yale´s prof.Shyam Sunder course description on Experimental Economicshttp://http://faculty.som.yale.edu/shyamsunder/ExperimentalEconomics/Expecon2008Fall.html
  4. Van Kurt Blog - with an interesting page on simulation of correlated and uncorrelated variables - https://kurtverstegen.wordpress.com/2013/12/07/simulation/

Flows in Railway Optimization
If I ever write a paper about the history of Operations Research...

...I must not forget this paper: Flows in railway optimization, by Alexander Schrijver. The paper can be found at: http://homepages.cwi.nl/~lex/files/flows_in_ro.pdf

And besides this, if I keep my sources in the Netherlands I should not forget the Amsterdan Optimization Group (http://amsterdamoptimization.com/).

An interesting free add-in for Excel: NtRand. It has a complex set of random numbers generator based in the Mersenne´s Algorithm. It can be found in http://www.ntrand.com/documentation/. Although I mainly use R or Palisade's @RISK to generate random numbers, this is an alternative to the standard ALEATÓRIO() function (in Excel´s PT-BR).
