Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

  • [qe-writing-006] — Many Title Case H2/H3 headings. Examples: ### Model Features (70), ### The Basic McCall Model (82), ### Offer Distribution Unknown (116), ### Parameterization (211), ### Looking Forward (242), ## Take 1: Solution by VFI (269), ## Take 2: A More Efficient Method (484), ## Another Functional Equation (499), ## Solving the RWFE (551), ## Appendix A (769), ## Appendix B (855), ## Examples (1062). Count: 10+ headings.

  • [qe-code-006] — !pip install interpolation (line 33) — binary/scientific-Python package not in Anaconda, no installation notes provided.

Medium severity#

  • [qe-math-008] — \mathbf{1} used as indicator function (line 113). Should be \mathbb{1} and explained.

  • [qe-math-011 (proposed)] — \operatorname{Beta} (lines 216, 217) used for the distribution; style guide recommends \mathrm{Beta}.

  • [qe-fig-001] — figsize= set 7 times — high.

  • [qe-fig-003] — ax.set_title('Unemployment rate') on line 850.

  • [qe-fig-006] — Title-Case xlabel('Time') on line 849.

  • [qe-link-002] — Four raw markdown links to python.quantecon.org / python-intro.quantecon.org instead of {doc} form.

Low severity#

  • [qe-writing-009 (proposed)] — Right curly apostrophes ’ used in narrative instead of straight ' (lines 27, 38, 41, 78, 118).

Strengths#

  • Lecture title correctly Title Case.

  • \mathbb{P} used for probability with \{ \} for events (lines 167-175).

  • \mathbb{E} used (line 97).

  • “IID” used correctly.

  • Equation labels and {eq} references used cleanly.

  • No transpose violations, no matrix-bracket issues, no \tag, no align issues.

  • Unicode Greek in code (σ, π, β).

  • Exercises use labels + dropdown solutions.
