CODE
- Global Optimization
Toolbox for Matlab This is a set
of global optimization algorithms for Matlab. The Zip file contains the toolbox for Matlab, along with demonstration files and
documentation. The documentation
file contains background on global optimization, explanations of each
algorithm, and test results on sample problems. The genetic algorithm in particular
seems effective in solving certain low and medium dimensional problems
up to 10 parameters. These
algorithms are designed to accompany the CompEcon toolbox written by Mario Miranda and
Paul Fackler, who also prepared this excellent
primer
to programming in Matlab.
- Iterative Bidding
Algorithm This
algorithm can be used to compute hedonic equilibria in markets where
buyers have heterogeneous preferences over the characteristics of a
differentiated product. The Zip
file contains the Matlab toolbox, a
documentation file, and code to reproduce the tables and figures from
Kuminoff and Jarrah (J. Urban Econ,
2010).
