This is an announcement of a study group for: https://quantecon.org/lectures/
These things often fail, but thought to give it a try anyway.

QuantEcon is a series of Jupyter notebooks covering topics of quantitative economics from Xiamen University.
It starts from the very basics of how to write a function in python and progresses to rather advanced mathematics (start at the start).
We might not be able to complete every part of this course, but we'd probably get something valuable from it regardless.
My background is in mathematics (largely forgotten) and some self-taught computer-science so might be able to help.

Was thinking perhaps two weeks or less to get through: https://python-programming.quantecon.org/intro.html
And then slowing down some after that as the course becomes more difficult, and more essential.

Sounds interesting
Might be down

I've gone ahead and finished up through unit 5, some of the exercises were certainly challenging.
Admittedly made ample use of the hints, and didn't read everything, and even looked at the answers for one or two.

If you need any help with setting up or the first few units exercises just say.

Got so far as the Solow-Swan Growth Model introduced in the second introduction to OOP [0] when got very distracted/invested.
Picked up "Introduction to Modern Economic Growth" (attached), and am about forty pages in covering a great deal of Solow-Swan.
This is a graduate economics textbook from Nobel Prize–winning economist Daron Acemoglu, and seems to focus some on NICs.
My understanding is that in the following chapter there is some Data Analysis, and will probably return to QuantEcon for more information.
My hope is that the technology presented in QuantEcon can be applied with the datasets and techniques from Acemoglu.
Might be able to recreate some of the figures and do more detailed analysis of select countries like the East Asian Tigers.

Are you planning to become an amateur researcher? Or do you just like messing around with this thing?

>>30710
Well, the idea at the moment is to become a data analyst or programmer.
The former of these is a bit like being a more narrow computerized research assistant.
So the idea is to gain some skills that might be useful for work while using a dataset that's rich and inherently interesting to me.
That is if any of the over one hundred applications I've filled out give me an interview, let alone a job.
Learning numpy, and pandas then what has direct value, and on the side diving into some economics.

Second thread I will come back to regularly on this pb glazing fucking crypto-Lassallean dumpsterfire website (only other good thread being the beloved /cybcom/ bunker)

THE STRUGGLE
CONTINUES!

lol an accurate critique.

>>30717
Am very interested in proof assistants, but am not sure really have a use case considering they're require even more domain knowledge.
