Introduction to Quantitative Macroeconomics Using Julia

"A concise and elegant introduction to many of the topics involved in the solution of dynamic macroeconomic models. Caraiani 's use of Julia is a fantastic choice for teaching modern numerical methods." --Jesus Fernandez-Villaverde, University of Pennsylvania

"Julia is a computer language that is taking economics by storm. In this book, Petre Caraiani takes the reader by their hands and introduce them to a wide variety of numerical methods that are then applied to recent macroeconomic models. The book explains these methods and applies them in Julia not only those models with representative-agent (RBC and DSGE models), but also to heterogeneous-agents models. Therefore, the book is a valuable source for readers interested in numerical methods and in Julia." --Pedro Garcia Duarte, University of São Paulo

"Petre Caraiani’s book guides the readers into the sophisticated and innovative field of quantitative macroeconomics with the aim of bridging the gap between theoretical models and modern computational techniques. Caraiani provides an outstandingly clear exposition of the numerical methods by which researchers and graduate students can approach the complex problems of solving DSGE models or setting up heterogeneous agents models. This book is a must for all those who are interested in making theoretical macroeconomics an empirical discipline." --Peter Galbács, Budapest Business School

"This book provides an excellent overview of key numerical tools to study macroeconomic models and provides supporting programs using Julia, a frontier programming language." --Wouter den Haan, London School of Economics

"This book provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the numerical techniques that every student that aims at doing quantitative economics should know. Not only the book provides with a minimal introduction to the theory underlyin
