I think this would be good to implement (in both Python and Julia). Recursive Lexicographical Search: Finding all Markov Perfect Equilibria of Finite State Directional Dynamic Games Iskhakov, Fedor and...

Simple interface to specifying models in DiscreteDP

@oyamad This is just a wish list idea that I'm noting down while I think of it. (Perhaps other people have mentioned it too.) It would be nice to have...

Convert Gambit bindings to Python 3, make conda package

4

Gambit is a useful piece of software for computing Nash equilibria in games, among other things. http://www.gambit-project.org/gambit14/index.html# The core routines are written in C. There are Python bindings but they...

time series simulations

It would be nice to have a numba-fied function for simulating scalar AR(1) processes of the form x_{t+1} = a x_t + b + c w_{t+1} where the {w_t} shocks...

Treat Dask and other libs in the Scientific Libraries lecture?

8

Should dask be treated in this lecture: https://lectures.quantecon.org/py/sci_libs.html ? Any other libraries we're not treating but should at least mention? Jax? I'm rehashing this question from Slack, where @AakashGfude says:...

Add Dask discussion and GPU discussion to parallelization lecture

3

A new parallelization lecture was added in QuantEcon/lecture-source-py#719 At the bottom are commented out headings for Dask and GPUs. These can be added sequentially while the lecture is live, probabily...

figure sizes need to be reduced

6

Apart from the first one, all the figures on this page are too big: https://python-programming.quantecon.org/about_py.html. @shlff @Harveyt47 @najuzilu we talked about how to fix this for a long time --...

Update about Python lecture

1

This lecture needs a bit of an update. https://python.quantecon.org/about_py.html The figures could be updated and we might include this link: https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/software/the-top-programming-languages-2019 Note the discussion there as to why Python is...

Let people know about https://python.quantecon.org/parallelization.html

We should add a sentence and link to this: https://realpython.com/pandas-read-write-files/
