• High School and College Volunteer Summer Research on US Monetary and Fiscal History

  George Hall and Thomas Sargent
  Summer 2024
  Once again this summer, some enterprising high school and college students came to me online and asked to learn some Python, economics, mathematics, statistics, and US financial history. They learned by doing. This summer the theme was to write ``biographies'' of some famous bonds that the US federal government issued to finance surges in government expenditures. Students formed teams and organized themselves. My friend and co-author George Hall of Brandeis and I mostly just watched and learned. The accompanying link contains summaries of their findings. Python code and data sources are included in the document. 
  

• Quantitative Economics

  John Stachurski and Thomas Sargent
  February 2022
  A free online class about quantitative economics written partly in English, partly in the language of economic dynamics, and partly in Python.  The web site is a work in progress and will be updated often.  It emphasizes hands on learning and offers exercises and examples. 
  

• Advanced macroeconomics for undergraduates

  Fall 2011
  This is an undergraduate class that I taught at NYU a couple of times. I wrote out notes for the class. The notes include many homework problems and practice questions.
