Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors (student stuff)

Summary:
Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors (student stuff) .[embedded content] When applying principal component analysis in econometrics courses we often want to reduce data dimensionality. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors help us do that. In macroeconomics — especially when we use dynamic programming and Bellman equations to solve optimization problems — eigenvalues and eigenvectors help us determine convergence and stability properties. So — good to have at least some basic knowledge of these square matrix concepts.
