Resources
Helpful references for Julia and computational economics.
Getting set up
- Install Julia (use the latest stable release).
- Install a code editor — VS Code with the Julia extension is recommended.
- Install Git and create a GitHub account for submitting homeworks.
Julia
- Julia documentation
- Julia performance tips — very helpful.
- QuantEcon (Julia) — much of this course borrows from here.
Computational economics
- Jesús Fernández-Villaverde’s teaching page — lecture notes on computation and much else.
- Dean Corbae’s Computational Economics course — this bootcamp is designed to prepare you for it.
- Florian Oswald’s teaching page (Julia and R).
- Gentzkow & Shapiro, Code and Data for the Social Sciences — best practices for coding and data.
UW-Madison
- Social Science Computing Cooperative (SSCC) — computing resources for research.
