Quantitative Macroeconomics: Lessons Learned from Fourteen Replications doi.org/10.1007/s10614… Or check the prepub version with hyperlinks: dropbox.com/s/xwu5tp1z8sbu… Replicates 14 papers using VFI Toolkit. You can find the results, their accuracy, and some recommendations.

getHDRData: download data from Human Development Report directly from within Matlab: robertdkirkby.com/codes-toolkits… Works like getFREDData and getIMFData.

getIMFData() adds GFS databases. Requires minor update to inputs for CPIS and DOT databases. See github for example using GFS.

GMM Estimation of Life-Cycle models shorturl.at/lvnU9 Life-Cycle models 45-50 in the Intro to Life-Cycle models show how to do GMM estimation in VFI Toolkit with just 5-10 lines of code (after model and data work). I'm excited about this! :D
