cstwMPC Replication Made using the ARK
- Install Anaconda for Python 3
- In the Anaconda terminal (Windows) or Unix-like terminal (other OS):
- Navigate to ./Code/
- run "pip install -r requirements.txt"
- Run Spyder, and open ./do_min, ./do_mid.py, ./do_all.py, or ./do_custom.py
- Run the code by clicking the green arrow button.
Alternatively, you can execute any of the files from the command line, e.g.
`ipython do_min.py`
Running do_min.py will estimate two simple specifications of the model, with no aggregate shocks.
This takes a few minutes to run-- approximately 10-15 minutes on a typical computer.
Running do_mid.py will estimate the two main specifications reported in the paper
This takes several hours to run.
Running do_custom.py will let you choose exactly which model to estimate
Progress will be printed to screen when these files are run.
