Economists can greatly enhance their modeling and data\nprocessing capabilities by exploiting these new computational tools.  This\nworkshop will provide a brief overview of core topics, including automatic\ndifferentiation, parallel computing, and just-in-time compilers. We will discuss\nhow these tools can be applied to a range of economic applications.\n\nAll attendees should bring a laptop computer with access to the internet.\n\nThe workshop is suitable for people with interest in computational work but no\nprogramming experience is required.\n\n\n## Lead Instructor\n\nThe lead instructor for the workshop will be [John Stachurski](https://johnstachurski.net/) (Australian National University).\n\n## Guest Instructors\n\nThe workshop will include a session titled Computational Economics in Action, with lectures by [James Hansen](https://sites.google.com/site/jamesfrhansen/home) and [Yong Song](https://sites.google.com/view/ysong1).\n\n## Times and Date\n\n* Date: August 15th 2024\n\n### Location\n\n* Room 404, FBE Building 111 Barry St, Carlton\n\n\n## Topics\n\n* An overview of modern scientific computing\n* AI and its impact on economic modeling\n* Quick introduction to Python\n* Accelerating Python using Numba and Fortran\n* Automatic differentiation\n* Introduction to JAX and GPU computing\n* Gini coefficients and Lorenz curves\n\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fmelbourne_2024","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fmelbourne_2024","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquantecon%2Fmelbourne_2024/lists"}
