    Putting Home Economics into Macroeconomics
    This package implements the RBC model of Greenwood et al. (1993) with Matlab and Dynare.

    Households spend approximately a quarter of their day working at home and thereby amounting to 20-50 percent of GNP. Therefore, by incorporating home pro- duction into a standard real business cycle (RBC) model Greenwood et al. (1993) can more accurately reproduce key macroeconomic characteristics, such as volatility, of the U.S. economy between 1947 and 1987. Find the code on GitHub and the outputs of the simulations here.

    Shelving or developing?
    This package implements the models of Fumagalli et al. (2020).

    With respect to traditional mergers, killer acquisitions trigger a new trade-off. On the one hand, the acquirer may decide to shelve the project of the potential entrant. On the other hand, the acquisition may allow for the development of a project that would otherwise never reach the market. Find an interactive visualization of the implementation on here.

    Copying, acquisition and start-ups direction of innovation
    This package implements the models of Shelegia and Motta (2021).

    The models in Shelegia and Motta (2021) try to rationalize the so-called “Kill-Zone” for startup innovations. If you are interested in this topic have a look into the repository. The implementation was mentioned as well on Twitter (currently unavailable). Find an exemplary jupyter notebook about the paper on here.

    SBB-Opendata-Visualization
    Visualization of the delay for train connections of the SBB.

    During the course Opendata we developed a visualization to compare the delay of a SBB - connection to its rolling stock or the weather during the connection. Find the demo of the visualization under this link.
