Impulse-Response Function Analysis for Agent-Based Models

Performing impulse-response function (IRF) analysis of relevant variables of agent-based simulation models, in particular for models described in 'LSD' format. Based on the data produced by the simulation model, it performs both linear and state-dependent IRF analysis, providing the tools required by the Counterfactual Monte Carlo (CMC) methodology (Amendola and Pereira (2024) ), including state identification and sensitivity. CMC proposes retrieving the causal effect of shocks by exploiting the opportunity to directly observe the counterfactual in a fully controlled experimental setup. 'LSD' (Laboratory for Simulation Development) is free software available at < https://www.labsimdev.org/>).
