This is the webpage of NUMEDIG, a discussion group based at the Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen. The purpose of this page is to coordinate the meetings, seminars, discussions, etc. concerning numerical methods in applied economics.

If you have any ideas on topics or want to give a talk, please write me at thomas.h.jorgensen [at] econ.ku.dk.
