This paper shows the potential of heterogeneous computing in solving dynamic equilibrium models in economics. We illustrate the power and simplicity of C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP) recently introduced by Microsoft. Starting from the same exercise as Aldrich et al. (J Econ Dyn...

Initially developed in the context of <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\tt REGILINK}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> project, <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\tt SIMUL 3.2}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> econometric software is able to estimate and to run large-scale dynamic multi-regional, multi-sectoral models.

Marketing researchers have used models of consumer demand to forecast future sales, to describe and test theories of behavior, and to measure the response to marketing interventions. The basic framework typically starts from microfoundations of expected utility theory to obtain an econometric...

Managers of retail chains who seek to add new stores or close existing ones need to know the net impact of a store's opening/closure on the overall chain performance. This requires inferring the extent to which each store generates incremental sales as opposed to competing with other stores...

Film studios occasionally withhold movies from critics before their release. Because the unreviewed movies tend to be below average in quality, this practice provides a useful setting in which to test models of limited strategic thinking: Do moviegoers seem to realize that no review is a sign of...

Entrepreneurs, even more than employees, tend to locate in regions in which they have deep roots ("home" regions). Here, we examine the performance implications of these choices. Whereas one might expect entrepreneurs to perform better in these regions because of their richer endowments of...
