Check out this 🧵on #estimagic, a core project of open source economics.

#estimagic is not just extremely powerful for numerical optimization.

It can calculate standard errors and sensitivity measures for likelihood and moments based estimation.

[Janos Gabler @JanosGabler]

Ever ran an optimization with @scipy but none of the algorithms worked?
To use other algorithms, you had to learn a new library and rewrite your code?

Say hi to #estimagic, a modern #python package that wraps all algorithms you’ll ever need 🚀

Of course, there’s more: A 🧵

[Open Source Economics @open_econ]

#estimagic has been in the works for three years and is now stable enough to be used in research.

A huge shout out goes to all the contributors that made this possible:

The @EPoS224 & @econometricsoc Summer School and Conference on Dynamic Structural Econometrics https://t.co/B2oHXetfIo has come to a close! It has been an intense week of hybrid lectures, conference talks and lots of discussion during breaks and evenings!

[Hans-Martin von Gaudecker🇺🇦🇪🇺 @econ_hmg]

https://t.co/B2oHXetfIo has started! An amazing feeling to be in a room with 40 highly motivated students and some giants of the field! And who could kick it off better than John Rust? Thanks @EPoS224 @econometricsoc @eisenhauer_io @david__koll @Fedor_Iskhakov @schjerning1975
