We will work in Python. You need some experience before the course begins.

Installation:

1. Install newest Anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/download

Getting started: To get a basic understanding of Python, I recommend looking at my undergruadte course Introduction to Programming and Numerical Analysis.

• Watch the lecture videoes (~ 10 hours) here

• Go through the associated lecture notebooks here

Python-packages: We will be using my packages.

1. EconModel and EconModelNotebooks. Any economic model I build in Python use this package.

2. ConSav and associated ConSavNotebooks. Used to solve consumption-saving models.

3. GEModelTools and associated GEModelToolsNotebooks. Used to solve heterogenous agent general equilibrium model.
