gEcon.estimation package

This package allows for estimation of models developed in gEcon using either Bayesian or classical (maximum likelihood) methods. In addition, the package includes implementation of historical shock decomposition, Kalman smoother for unobservable variables, and forecasting routines which may be helpful in model analysis and applications.

Note on using gEcon.estimation with gEcon v.1.2.2

Currently the package cannot run the models with the option output R Rcpp enabled. This feature will be added in the upcoming releases of the package.
