The primary goals of Econ-ARK are to make entry into the world of economic modeling easy; to accelerate the development of this kind of modeling for policy-making and academic research; and to increase the openness, replicability, and interoperability of modeling tools.

Welcome to Econ-ARK
The heart of Econ-ARK is making reproducible papers. The ARKitecture of Econ-ARK consists of a code toolkit (HARK), demonstrations of using the toolkit (DemARK), and a Materials Library replicating modeling results of published papers (REMARK).
Read through the Quick Start Guide to get up and running with HARK, or for developers the Contributing Guidelines.

Materials Library
The Materials Library is a single-source-of-truth for all Econ-ARK published and working materials. These include reproducible papers, examples, demonstrations, documentation, notebooks and teaching material.
BufferStockTheory
This paper builds foundations for rigorous and intuitive understanding of 'buffer stock' saving models (Bewley (1977)-like models with a wealth target), pairing each theoretical result with quantitative illustrations. After describing...
