Toolkit on Econometrics and Economics Teaching

Many MATLAB routines related to econometrics, statistics and introductory economics teaching.

I have about a hundred MATLAB routines related to econometrics, statistics and introductory economics teaching, which are written mostly in my spare time in the past years. Most of these MATLAB functions / scripts are supplied with a graphic user interface so that so you may estimate the model with the mouse clicking. I would like to share these codes with every interested researcher, instructor and student.

This lump-sum package reflects revision up to August 2011. Since I receive feedbacks from users from time to time, I update those codes and post them program by program on my personal website. For the latest version, please visit www.public.iastate.edu/~hqi/toolkit.html

Though I made efforts to check the correctness of those codes before I posted them, due to the large quantity of the codes, there might be some errors remaining. If you are aware of bugs or imperfections of these codes, please let me know. I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Here is a list of the packages:
