QuantEcon.py

A high performance, open source Python code library for economics

python from quantecon.markov import DiscreteDP aiyagari_ddp = DiscreteDP(R, Q, beta) results = aiyagari_ddp.solve(method='policy_iteration')

Installation

Before installing quantecon we recommend you install the Anaconda Python distribution, which includes a full suite of scientific python tools.

Next you can install quantecon by opening a terminal prompt and typing

pip install quantecon

or using conda-forge by typing

conda install -c conda-forge quantecon

Usage

Once quantecon has been installed you should be able to import it as follows:

python import quantecon as qe

You can check the version by running

python print(qe.__version__)

If your version is below what’s available on PyPI then it is time to upgrade. This can be done by running

pip install --upgrade quantecon

Examples and Sample Code

Many examples of QuantEcon.py in action can be found at Quantitative Economics. See also the

QuantEcon.py is supported financially by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and is part of the QuantEcon organization.

Downloading the `quantecon` Repository

An alternative is to download the sourcecode of the quantecon package and install it manually from the github repository. For example, if you have git installed type

git clone https://github.com/QuantEcon/QuantEcon.py

Once you have downloaded the source files then the package can be installed by running

pip install flit
flit install
