All of the code for the FRB/US model is publicaly available. The model is currently implemented in EViews and according to [Ken Judd](https://sites.google.com/site/thefedanditsmodels/home/how-you-can-help-the-fed) (who has looked at the code more that I have!) the algorithms are quite dated.\r\n\r\nI suspect this would be a non-trivial undertaking, but would definitely provide some good press for QuantEcon.  Did anyone else know that this code was available? Had anyone else thought about doing this? "}}
