Debian Science Economics packages

Dynare is a software platform for handling a wide class of economic models, in particular dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. The models solved by Dynare include those relying on the rational expectations hypothesis, wherein agents form their expectations about the future in a way consistent with the model. But Dynare is also able to handle models where expectations are formed differently: on one extreme, models where agents perfectly anticipate the future; on the other extreme, models where agents have limited rationality or imperfect knowledge of the state of the economy and, hence, form their expectations through a learning process. In terms of types of agents, models solved by Dynare can incorporate consumers, productive firms, governments, monetary authorities, investors and financial intermediaries. Some degree of heterogeneity can be achieved by including several distinct classes of agents in each of the aforementioned agent categories.

Dynare offers a user-friendly and intuitive way of describing these models. It is able to perform simulations of the model given a calibration of the model parameters and is also able to estimate these parameters given a dataset. In practice, the user will write a text file containing the list of model variables, the dynamic equations linking these variables together, the computing tasks to be performed and the desired graphical or numerical outputs.

This package provides a full installation of Dynare, to be run on top of GNU Octave.

The GNU Regression, Econometric and Time-Series Library (gretl) is a software package for econometric analysis. The package comprises a shared library, a command-line client program, and a graphical client built using GTK+.

statsmodels Python3 module provides classes and functions for the estimation of several categories of statistical models. These currently include linear regression models, OLS, GLS, WLS and GLS with AR(p) errors, generalized linear models for several distribution families and M-estimators for robust linear models. An extensive list of result statistics are available for each estimation problem.

R — это система для статистических расчётов, состоящая из языка и рабочего окружения с графикой, отладчиком, доступом к некоторым системным функциям и возможностью запуска сценариев, хранимых в отдельных файлах.

На разработку R сильное влияние оказали два существующих языка: S Бекера, Чамберса и Уилкса, и Scheme Сассмана. Несмотря на то, что внешне получившийся язык очень сильно похож на S, его реализация и семантика произошли из Scheme.

Ядро R представляет собой интерпретируемый язык программирования, который позволяет реализовать ветвления и циклы, а также модульное программирование с использованием функций. Большинство функций R, видимых пользователю, написаны на R. Также существует возможность обращаться к процедурам, написанным на C, C++ или FORTRAN для большей эффективности, и многие базовые функции R это делают. Дистрибутив R позволяет осуществлять множество статистических операций и лежащих в их основе прикладных математических вычислений. Также присутствует большой набор функций, обеспечивающих гибкое графическое окружение для создания различных графических представлений данных.

Дополнительно, несколько тысяч «пакетов» с расширениями доступны на CRAN, Comprehensive R Archive Network. Многие из них также собраны в виде пакетов Debian, называющихся 'r-cran-<имя пакета>'

Настоящий пакет является метапакетом, облегчающим переход с R версий, меньших 1.5.0, которые поставлялись в виде одного большого пакета r-base. После установки, его можно спокойно удалить; apt-get будет автоматически обновлять установленные компоненты R при последующих обновлениях. Предоставление r-base как метапакета позволяет пользователям устанавливать только пакет r-base-core (меньший по объёму), если они этого пожелают.

This is a set of routines for GNU R that implement various statistical and econometric models using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation, which allows "solving" models that would otherwise be intractable with traditional techniques, particularly problems in Bayesian statistics (where one or more "priors" are used as part of the estimation procedure, instead of an assumption of ignorance about the "true" point estimates), although MCMC can also be used to solve frequentist statistical problems with uninformative priors. MCMC techniques are also preferable over direct estimation in the presence of missing data.

Currently implemented are a number of ecological inference (EI) routines (for estimating individual-level attributes or behavior from aggregate data, such as electoral returns or census results), as well as models for traditional linear panel and cross-sectional data, some visualization routines for EI diagnostics, two item-response theory (or ideal-point estimation) models, metric, ordinal, and mixed-response factor analysis, and models for Gaussian (linear) and Poisson regression, logistic regression (or logit), and binary and ordinal-response probit models.

The suggested packages (r-cran-bayesm, -eco, and -mnp) contain additional models that may also be useful for those interested in this package.

The package implements several time series filters useful for smoothing and extracting trend and cyclical components of a time series. The routines are commonly used in economics and finance, however they should also be interest to other areas. Currently, Christiano-Fitzgerald, Baxter-King, Hodrick-Prescott, Butterworth, and trigonometric regression filters are included in the package.

This R package intends to make the estimation of linear panel models straightforward. It provides functions to estimate a wide variety of models= and to make (robust) inference.

The main functions to estimate models are:

• plm: panel data estimators using lm on transformed data,
• pgmm: generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation for panel data,
• pvcm: variable coefficients models for panel data,
• pmg: mean groups (MG), demeaned MG and common correlated effects (CCEMG) estimators.

Next to the model estimation functions, the package offers several functions for statistical tests related to panel data/models.

Multiple functions for (robust) variance-covariance matrices are at hand as well. The package also provides data sets to demonstrate functions and to replicate some text book/paper results.

Dolo is a tool to assist researchers in solving several types of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models, using either local of global approximation methods.

Users are can separate the definition of their models from the solution algorithm. A simple syntax is provided in YAML files to define variables and equations of several types. This syntax integrates the specification of occasionally binding constraints (a.k.a. complementarity conditions)

The user can then implement his own preferred solution method using one of the provided tools (various types of interpolation, solvers, ...) or use one of the already implemented procedures.

Dolo is written in Python and so are his solution routines. If you prefer or need to use another language for the solution, you can always use dolo as a preprocessor. In that case, dolo will just translate the model file into a numerical file usable by your software. Currently, Octave/MATLAB and Julia are supported.

Minsky is one of a family of ``system dynamics'' computer programs. These programs allow a dynamic model to be constructed, not by writing mathematical equations or numerous lines of computer code, but by laying out a model of a system in a flowchart, which can then simulate the system. These programs are now the main tool used by engineers to design complex products, ranging from small electrical components right up to passenger jets.

What does Minsky provide that other system dynamics programs don't boils down to one feature: The Godley Table that enables a dynamic model of financial flows to be derived from a table that is very similar to the accountant's double-entry bookkeeping table. Hence Minsky is very well suited for simulating Stock-Flow Consistent (SFC) models.

NetLogo is a programmable modeling environment for simulating natural and social phenomena. It was authored by Uri Wilensky in 1999 and has been in continuous development ever since at the Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling.

NetLogo is particularly well suited for modeling complex systems developing over time. Modelers can give instructions to hundreds or thousands of "agents" all operating independently. This makes it possible to explore the connection between the micro-level behavior of individuals and the macro-level patterns that emerge from their interaction.

This package allows to simulate Post-Keynesian Stock-Flow Consistent Models, following the approach of Godley, W. and M. Lavoie, 2007: Monetary Economics An Integrated Approach to Credit, Money, Income, Production and Wealth.

The package uses the Gauss-Seidel algorithm to solve linear systems of equations, following the approach found in Kinsella, Stephen and O’Shea, Terence, Solution and Simulation of Large Stock Flow Consistent Monetary Production Models Via the Gauss Seidel Algorithm.

pandaSDMX is SDMX software that facilitates the acquisition and analysis of SDMX-2.1 compliant data and metadata. These can be rendered in various formats:

In addition to the three cornerstone functions VAR(), SVAR() and SVEC() for estimating such models, functions for diagnostic testing, estimation of a restricted models, prediction, causality analysis, impulse response analysis and forecast error variance decomposition are provided too. It is further possible to convert vector error correction models into their level VAR representation.

BMR (Bayesian Macroeconometrics in R) is a collection of R and C++ routines for estimating Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (BVAR) and Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models in the R statistical environment. Features

For BVARs, BMR supports: * normal-inverse-Wishart prior, * Minnesota prior, and * Mattias Villani's steady-state prior. The BMR package can also estimate BVARs with time-varying parameters, as well as classical (non-Bayesian) VARs.

For DSGE models, the package can: * solve models using either Harald Uhlig's method of undetermined coefficients

  or Chris Sims' canonical decomposition;
* estimate models using MCMC by means of a Kalman filter or the Chandrasekhar
  recursions;
* and estimate a hybrid DSGE-VAR model.

gEcon allows users to describe their models in terms of optimisation problems of agents. Given optimisation problems, constraints and identities, gEcon derives the first order conditions, steady state equations, and linearisation matrices automatically. Numerical solvers can be then employed to determine the steady state and approximate equilibrium laws of motion around it.

RECS is a MATLAB solver for dynamic, stochastic, rational expectations equilibrium models. RECS stands for "Rational Expectations Complementarity Solver". This name emphasizes that RECS has been developed specifically to solve models that include complementarity equations, also known as models with occasionally binding constraints.

RECS is designed to solve small-scale nonlinear and complementarity models, but not large-scale models. For solving large-scale problems, but without complementarity equations, see Dynare or similar toolboxes.

Repast for High Performance Computing (Repast HPC) is a next generation agent-based modeling system intended for large-scale distributed computing platforms. It implements the core Repast Simphony concepts (e.g. contexts and projections), modifying them to work in a parallel distributed environment.

Repast HPC is written in cross-platform C++. It can be used on workstations, clusters, and supercomputers running Apple macOS, Linux, or Unix. Portable models can be written in either standard or Logo-style C++.

Repast HPC has been successfully tested for scalability on Argonne National Laboratory's Blue Gene/P.

Repast Simphony is a tightly integrated, richly interactive, cross platform Java-based modeling system. It supports the development of extremely flexible models of interacting agents for use on workstations and computing clusters.

Repast Simphony models can be developed in several different forms including the ReLogo dialect of Logo, point-and-click statecharts, Groovy, or Java, all of which can be fluidly interleaved.

Repast Simphony has been successfully used in many application domains including social science, consumer products, supply chains, possible future hydrogen infrastructures, and ancient pedestrian traffic to name a few.
