Unix Server Access
Students in the Department of 经济学 are given accounts on one of the Unix servers managed by the Department, which provides support for computationally intensive applications such as Stata, MATLAB, Ox, RATS and the Fortran-90, C, C++ and perl languages.
Econometric Software
电子游戏正规平台生 students in economics are introduced to the use of econometric software and data resources in the first-year econometrics course. They may utilize the Department's Apple Macintosh OS X workstations, more than a dozen of which are located in departmental facilities dedicated to graduate student use. These workstations run Stata, MATLAB, DYNARE, Ox, Mathematica, TeXShop/teTeX and Microsoft Office applications, and provide access to Internet resources. Several locations in the computing labs and graduate lounge are equipped with Internet connections for students' laptops, and the entire campus supports WiFi wireless networking.
Mac OS
Prospective students should take note that the Department of 经济学, like many departments at 电子游戏软件, does not provide support for Microsoft Windows-based personal computers. Software which is only available for the Windows platform is not supported. Although most up-to-date personal computers may be used to connect to the University's systems from off campus, on-campus support in Departmental facilities is limited to Apple Macintosh hardware and Mac OS X software. The resources of the 电子游戏软件 network and the Department's xServe fileserver are accessible to students' appropriately configured home computers, Mac或PC. Prospective students should evaluate the suitability of Mac OS X Unix-based systems for their needs (and consult with the Department's 教师 Technology Coordinator) before investing in personal systems.
奥尼尔图书馆 & ITS 电子游戏正规平台 Services
A number of important data resources are also available to students through 电子游戏正规平台 Services and the University 库. On-line access to the DRI-WEFA Basic 经济学, International Financial Statistics, and World Development Indicators economic databases and the COMPUSTAT and CRSP financial databases is provided. 电子游戏软件 is a member of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social 电子游戏正规平台 (ICPSR), which makes a number of large economic databases available without charge.
The 奥尼尔图书馆 houses a comprehensive collection of economics volumes and leading journals in economics and related fields. 电子游戏软件 participates in the JSTOR project, giving on-line access to the entire runs of leading economics journals. Access to the Library's holdings is provided by the library catalog, accessible from any web browser. A number of online databases (such as EconLit) may be used to assist research. 电子游戏软件 is a member of the Boston Library Consortium which enables graduate students to use library facilities at MIT, Boston University, 布兰代斯, 东北, 塔夫茨大学, 韦尔斯利, University of Massachusetts, and the Boston Public Library.
RePEc Initiative
The Department plays a prominent role in the RePEc (电子游戏正规平台 Papers in 经济学) initiative, which provides free access to working papers, journal citations, software and contact information. The 电子游戏软件 工作底稿 in 经济学 are downloadable and searchable via RePEc's user services (http://repec.org).
