Reorganized Optimal Savings and Parallel Programming Lectures
25 Nov 2025
We’ve completed a significant reorganization of lectures across two of our Python lecture sites to improve content flow and learning progression.
Optimal Savings Lectures (python.quantecon.org)
The Intermediate Quantitative Economics with Python series has undergone a major restructuring of the optimal savings content:
- Renamed and reorganized the income fluctuation problem (IFP) lectures for clearer progression
- Added dynamics plots and adjusted parameters for better visualization
- Improved code organization with consistent function signatures across lectures
- Enhanced JAX implementations with unified operator signatures between standard and JAX versions
Parallel Programming Lectures (python-programming.quantecon.org)
The Python Programming for Economics and Finance site now features reorganized parallel programming content:
- Restructured table of contents for better topic flow
- Improved content on NumPy vs Numba vs JAX comparisons
- Better explanations of parallel computing concepts
These updates were developed with contributions from John Stachurski, Humphrey Yang, and Matt McKay.
