You can find solutions to exercises from the winter semester in the folder
ws. Exercises from the summer semester will be reachable here directly.
Solutions to the computation exercises are found in the following notebooks. To view
these notebooks simply press the render notebook button. If you like to play around
with these notebooks online simply press the launch binder button (note that the
building process can take a few minutes). (In case one of the links fails you can also
view the notebook by simply opening the file; that will always work.)

You can contribute to this repository by uploading alternative solutions, corrected mistakes or solutions to new exercises. Feel free to do so using the pull request strategy. That is, after cloning the repository you create a feature branch and then on the repository webpage you create a pull request for that feature branch. Once you are happy with your solution you ask for a code review and we will then merge the feature branch onto main. For any questions on this process contact timmens.
If you want to run the notebooks on your local machine you need to install all packages
that are listed in the file environment.yml. This works easiest when using the
conda package manager (or mamba
if you know what you're doing). Assuming you installed conda you simply open your
favorite terminal emulator and run (line by line)
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ conda activate macroNow you should be able to start and execute the notebooks from inside the terminal session.
