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:

•  Programming for Economists (fall, supersedes Introduction to Programming and Numerical Analysis. 

This course presumes no prior understanding of programming and only an introductionary level of economics.

2. Advanced Microeconometrics (fall - Anders Munk-Nielsen)

3. Household Behavior over the Life Cycle (spring - Thomas Jørgensen)

4. Dynamic Programming: Theory, Computation and Empirical Applications (spring - Bertel Schjerning)

Finally: Mini-Course: Heterogenous Agent Macro (Jeppe Druedahl)
