Exam

• Preequisties: Complete DataCamp courses + approved data and model projects

• Part 1 (40%): Project 1+2 revised based on received feedback

• Part 2 (60%): 48 hour home assignment

• Grading: Pass/fail

• Curriculum: Lecture notebooks

• Dates: 17th-19th of January 2026  (subject to change, check official information)

48 hour home assignment

• Structure: 2-3 problems with 3-6 sub-questions each

• Content:  Solve and simulate economic models and interpret the results and present them e.g. graphically

• Examples of a problem: Similar to the problems in the problem sets

1. Solve consumer or firm optimization problems (with non-standard constraints)

2. Solve an extended Solow model

3. Solve for the Walras-equilibrium

4. Solve and simulate an AS-AD model

• Packages: No new packages are required, and using non-standard packages is actively discouraged

Answering

1. Focus on answering the questions - nothing more, nothing less

2. Explain your method in words (or with an algorithm)

3. Structure and comment your code!

4. Explain your results in words

5. Partial answers, attempts and considerations are also awarded
   (something on everything is better than a lot on a few questions)

Hand-in

• You should hand-in a single zip-file named with your groupname only.

• The zip-file should contain:

1. A general README.md for your portfolio

2. Your data project (in the folder /dataproject)

3. Your model project (in the folder /modelproject)

4. Your exam project (in the folder /examproject)
