Description

All,

I have a good bit of code for solving, simulating, and calibrating continuous time versions of the Solow and Ramsey/Cass/Koopmans growth models. I use the code primarily to teach grad students how to solve IVPs and BVPs.

Would there be interest in incorporating these models into quant-econ? I would need to refactor the code a bit (and write some tests) before submitting a pull request.

Research direction

Review the linked Solow and Ramsey notebooks first, then inspect QuantEcon.py's conventions for model modules and tests. The issue does not name target files or define an acceptance scope; done would require an agreed incorporation plan, refactored implementations, and tests for the proposed models.
