The paper gives a combinatorial method for the computation of the intersection indices of divisors on the moduli space of pointed algebraic curves. The corresponding generation function is the logarithmic statistical sum associated with some matrix model. According to the Witten hypothesis this statistical sum has to be a \(\tau\)-function for the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy.
