They now form the\ndominant paradigm in artificial intelligence and many fields within the natural\nsciences.  Economists can greatly enhance their modeling and data processing\ncapabilities by exploiting Python's scientific ecosystem.  This course will\ncover the foundations of Python programming and Python scientific libraries,\ndiscuss their connection to economic applications, and also investigate how\nPython is being used as the major language of AI.\n\n## Times and Dates\n\n* Dates: May 19-21, 2025\n* Times: 9:30 -- 12:30 and 14:00 -- 17:00 \n* Location: TBA\n\n## Instructors\n\n[Chase Coleman](https://github.com/cc7768) is a computational economist based at New York University where\nhe is a visiting assistant professor. He was an early contributor at QuantEcon\nand, along with other members of QuantEcon, has given lectures and workshops\non Python, Julia, and other open source computational tools at institutions and\nuniversities all around the world.\n\n[John Stachurski](https://johnstachurski.net/) is a mathematical and\ncomputational economist based at the Australian National University who works on\nalgorithms at the intersection of dynamic programming, Markov dynamics,\neconomics, and finance.  His work is published in journals such as the Journal\nof Finance, the Journal of Economic Theory, Automatica, Econometrica, and\nOperations Research.  In 2016 he co-founded QuantEcon with Thomas J. Sargent. \n\n\n\n## Syllabus\n\n* Monday morning: Introduction \n  - TBA\n* Monday afternoon: Python basics\n  - TBA\n* Tuesday morning: Markov models in Python\n  - TBA\n* Tuesday afternoon: Dynamic programming\n  - TBA\n* Wednesday morning: Heterogeneous agents\n  - TBA\n* Wednesday afternoon: Further applications\n  - TBA\n\n\n\n## Software\n\nThe main interface to Python will be either `jupyter-notebook` or `jupyter-lab`.\n\nAccess to the `ipython` REPL will also be useful.\n\nSome work will be done remotely using Google Colab --- a Google account is\nrequired.\n\nRequired Python libraries (much of which is found in the Anaconda Python distribution):\n\n* `numpy`\n* `scipy`\n* `matplotlib`\n* `pandas`\n* `scikit-learn`\n* `statsmodels`\n* `numba`\n* `f2py`\n* `quantecon`\n\n## Useful References\n\n* https://www.anaconda.com/download\n* https://github.com/google/jax/issues/13684 (for JS)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fimf_2025","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fimf_2025","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fimf_2025/lists"}
