What will we do ?

If you wish to estimate an econometric model which is not in your favorite package we will implement an estimation program for you. This may be a model which is described in the literature, in which case we will work from the references you supply us. If you have a problem which seems to require an original approach, we are prepared to help you develop an appropriate model, derive the likelihood function, and estimate the model.

We are prepared to undertake scientific and general programming tasks in C++ and SAS. We are particularly qualified to implement program simulation models.

Of course the number of assignments we can take is limited. We will maintain a waiting list however.

Qualifications

At present all assignments will be undertaken by the implementor of MLE++ and MLEQuick.

Specialty: implementation of statistical estimation programs and simulation models.

In the future some tasks may be assigned to other programmers. In this case their qualifications will be posted here.
