We need to refresh https://t.co/rf4Etc2fz8 are are looking for folks with web dev experience that can help. DM if interested and be a part of building the home for open source policy models!

Introducing our new lecture series on @GoogleOSS JAX! JAX's high-performance features and compatibility with #NumPy is ideal for quantitative economics that require heavy-duty computing. Access the table of contents here: https://t.co/Dar7F5nbSo

On this last day of 2022, a look back at some highlights from the PSL community and @PSLFoundation over the year, including the work of @ThePolicyEngine and @QuantEcon:

Thank you to all the supporters of PSL for making this possible!

Happy New Year!

ICYMI, find @elias_ilin's excellent PSL Demo Day talk on the @AtlantaFed Policy Rules Database on YouTube.
Elias really digs in - giving background on the database and examples of how to use and contribute to the project.

Check it out:

This past week, @john_stachurski and @WinantPablo held a workshop on scientific computing in #Python and #JuliaLang at the Central Bank of Chile (@bcentralchile). Materials available here: https://t.co/LG60gTKfz3

[QuantEcon @QuantEcon]

Our Quantitative Economics Workshop recently wrapped up in Paris. Content included scientific computing in #Python and dynamic programming using @GoogleOSS JAX. All the materials available on GitHub https://t.co/NeT1DYsumb

[Policy Simulation Library @PSLmodels]

The PSL Demo Day series has a full schedule this fall! Here's the lineup so that you can mark your calendars (all talks on Mondays at noon ET):

[QuantEcon @QuantEcon]

This December, @john_stachurski will provide a sequence of lectures on computational dynamic programming at @dseconf, which will be held at the Australian National University. More information here: https://t.co/mXmMlmId1O #econtwitter #Python

[PolicyEngine @ThePolicyEngine]

Save the date! On September 10, we'll join @DemocracyLab's first hybrid tech-for-good hackathon.

[Policy Simulation Library @PSLmodels]

Join us for a PSL Demo Day on Monday, July 11. @MaxGhenis will share work on targeted cash assistance and work incentives.

[Policy Simulation Library @PSLmodels]

Check out the new US population impact pages from @ThePolicyEngine, where you can simulate tax and benefit policies' aggregate effects.

[PolicyEngine @ThePolicyEngine]

This new @cgousu paper from our CEO @MaxGhenis applies the @OpenFisca US microsimulation model to evaluate the work incentive and poverty impacts of a proposed cash assistance program in Cambridge, MA. OpenFisca is the model that powers PolicyEngine US.

[PSLFoundation @PSLFoundation]

@ThePolicyEngine has been a platform for great policy analysis of the UK for some time. Here they illustrate how their tools allow for detailed analysis of tax and benefit policies in the US.

[PolicyEngine @ThePolicyEngine]

This is the first report to use our OpenFisca US microsimulation model! 🎉 https://t.co/akA0fNBzb2

[QuantEcon @QuantEcon]

"Economic Networks: Theory and Computation" by @john_stachurski and Tom Sargent covers the mathematical and computational foundations of networks, with accompanying #Python and @JuliaLanguage code. 📕Free download here: https://t.co/LRXuq6hgvJ

[Rick Evans @RickEcon]

I loved the @PSLmodels DC Workshop today. #OpenSource policy demos on Tax- Calculator (@MattHJensen), Cost-of-Capital-Calculstor (@jasondebacker), OG-USA (@RickEcon) and @ThePolicyEngine (@MaxGhenis). Thanks to all participants.
