About QuantEcon

QuantEcon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and documentation of open source computational tools for economics, econometrics, and decision making. We aim to make quantitative economic modeling accessible to researchers, students, and policymakers worldwide.

What We Do

  • Lectures — We develop and maintain world-leading lecture series on economics, finance, econometrics, and data science, all based on open source languages and computing environments.

  • Books — We publish open access textbooks on dynamic programming, economic networks, and quantitative macroeconomic finance.

  • Code Libraries — We develop and maintain high-performance, open source code libraries in Python and Julia for quantitative economic modeling.

  • Workshops — We run remote and in-person workshops at leading universities, central banks, and international organizations around the world.

  • Infrastructure — We build open source tools and infrastructure for computational education, including contributions to Jupyter Book and the Executable Books Project.

History

QuantEcon was co-founded by Thomas J. Sargent (Nobel Laureate, New York University) and John Stachurski (Australian National University). The organization brings together economists, mathematicians, and developers to coordinate the development of high-quality computational tools for the economics community.
