Overview
Key facts
The approach is hands-on: start with an economic problem, select an appropriate numerical technique for analysing it, apply the technique to the problem, and present your findings. The programming language of choice is Python.
Although the numerical techniques should be those indicated in the Programme Structure, the economic topics may be adapted to the interest of the audience, and the aim is to have economic examples also when presenting the basics of Python. For example, the programming concept of recursion and for loops can be illustrated with the Solow growth model; linear quadratic programming can be developed while talking about dynamic monopoly with durable goods, or a Stackelberg game.
London School of Economics and Political Science offers the Computational Economics programme.
