Maintained by Rodrigo R RemédioFirst published 2017-07-243 releasesCRAN page ↗

Estimation of production functions by the Olley-Pakes, Levinsohn-Petrin and Wooldridge methodologies. The package aims to reproduce the results obtained with the Stata's user written opreg http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0145 and levpet http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0060 commands. The first was originally proposed by Olley, G.S. and Pakes, A. (1996) doi:10.2307/2171831. The second by Levinsohn, J. and Petrin, A. (2003) doi:10.1111/1467-937X.00246. And the third by Wooldridge (2009) doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2009.04.026.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("estprod", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-estprod

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-estprod

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-estprod

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
