CEF 2026 Pre-conference — Slides
Slides and materials from the SCE pre-conference on computational toolkits and interoperability (28 June 2026, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice). Decks are published here with each presenter’s permission.
For a narrative overview of the day — talks, panel discussion, and action items — see the meeting summary.
Opening remarks — Christopher D. Carroll (SCE / Johns Hopkins)¶
Framing the day: the “Tower of Babel” problem across computational toolkits, the program, and the proposed working groups.
Event 1 — Tower of Babel: interoperability in computational economics¶
Christopher D. Carroll & Akshay Shanker (Econ-ARK), with Matt McKay (QuantEcon). Presented in two parts: the interoperability problem and a set of lessons drawn from other fields.
Event 2 — Lessons from DYNARE — Sébastien Villemot (CEPREMAP)¶
On standards and lessons learned from the DYNARE project.
Lightning — A Community Reference Library for Computational Economics — Matt McKay (QuantEcon, remote)¶
A proposal for a community-owned, cross-toolkit reference library of canonical models built on QuantEcon infrastructure.
