ECON408: Computational Methods in Macroeconomics, Winter 2025

Additional course materials are in:

To setup this repository for editing problem sets:

  • First install access to the main notebooks with [Setup Instructions]
  • Then with this project cloned
    • Run a Julia terminal with <Cmd+Shift-P> then Julia: Start REPL and do ]instantiate
    • Or julia --project then ]instantiate

Problem Sets and Exams

  1. Due Midnight PST on January 19 - Problem Set 0
    • This is a pass/fail problem set (i.e., hand it in you pass!) just to ensure you have setup your computer properly
  2. Due Midnight PST on January 26 - Problem Set 1
  3. Due Midnight PST on February 2 - Problem Set 2
  4. Due Midnight PST on February 23 - Problem Set 3
  5. February 26 - MIDTERM EXAM IN CLASS

All problem set solutions should be submitted on Canvas directly as a .ipynb file with instructions embedded.
