The computer implementation of any large economic model is usually a very expensive and time consuming task. This paper describes a software package, called GEMPACK, which is being developed specifically to reduce dramatically the research time, effort and cost required to set up one solution...

The Anderson-Moore algorithm provides a well-established solution method for forward-looking linear rational expectations models. It is widely used at the Federal Reserve Board for a variety of purposes, ranging from simulations of macroeconometric models to computations based on models of...

MyQuestLight is a free Excel add-in for processing questionnaire responses, which can be downloaded from IDEAS (search under Software Components). It leverages on Excel’s flexibility in organizing data, supplementing it with a set of powerful tools for automating the inputting of questionnaire...

The lack of firm-level data on innovative activities has always constrained the development of empirical studies on innovation. More recently, the availability of large datasets on indicators, such as R&D expenditures and patents, has relaxed these constrains and spurred the growth of a new wave...

When managing any commercial, professional, scientific, or other project, it is necessary to plan all segments to integrate the various components and achieve the set plans. Nowadays, tasks such as drawing Gantt charts, network diagrams, and creating project reports are unthinkable without...
