Computational Economics

General

All the course material is written inside notebooks. Notebooks whose filename ends with _slides_ are meant to be viewed with Rise or Voila-reveal. Those ending with _tutorial are meant to be run and filled by students.

Each student is expected to have a clone of the course repository, and commit his completed tutorials by Friday night. Intermediary assignments must be done in the same fashion by the next Friday.

During the course, each student will be ased to choose and present one Julia library.

The tutorial in the last session will be the final exam.

Setup requirement

To make the most of the course, it is recommended to install

  • JuliaPro 1.4 (or Julia 1.4 + a good text editor + JupyterLab)
  • Git
