Numerical Economics Copenhagen
In the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen, we provide the students with a strong background in numerical and computational methods for solving, simulating and estimating economic models. This page collects information on the courses we teach.
The basic course, targeted at undergraduate students, is:
0. Introduction to Programming and Numerical Analysis (spring).
This course presumes no prior understanding of programming and only an introductionary level of economics.
