Macroeconomics Lab
Each Macro Lab pairs a model family with data import, diagnostics, and outputs. Empirical Forecasting and Forecast Combination are available now. DSGE and Agent-Based tools are in development, with model references available to explore.
Features
Guided setup
Eight clear steps with checks along the way, or start quickly with recommended settings from the data step.
Indicator catalog
Search across FRED, BEA, BLS, IMF, OECD, and ECB. Supported series can be forecast directly from a saved dashboard.
Real diagnostics
ADF + KPSS stationarity, ACF / PACF / Ljung-Box / Jarque-Bera / ARCH-LM residual checks, plus pairwise Diebold-Mariano vs four naive benchmarks.
Clear availability
Every lab shows what you can use now and which tools are still in development.
Empirical Forecasting Lab
Available nowData-first macro forecasting: choose a supported indicator such as CPI, unemployment, or GDP growth, select ARIMA, Ridge, or Ensemble, and get point forecasts with confidence bands plus a comparison against simple historical benchmarks. Start with recommended settings or use the guided steps when you want more control.
DSGE Estimation Lab
In developmentExplore the structural workflow for DSGE models, including equations, shocks, impulse responses, historical decompositions, policy counterfactuals, and structural forecasts. Interactive calculations are not available yet.
Agent-Based Simulation Lab
In developmentExplore agent-based macro models of households, firms, banks, and networks, including policy experiments, stress tests, sensitivity analysis, and stylized-fact checks. Interactive simulations are not available yet.
Forecast Combination Lab
Available nowEnsemble forecasting, not a standalone regression-analysis lab. Import compatible source forecasts, combine them into point, density, fan-chart, tournament, monitoring, or scenario-conditional outputs, and keep validation and terminal-test windows separate.
