The GAUSS Software Archive

The American University Economics Department archives GAUSS source code for public non-commerical use. At the moment it contains some good code for non-linear optimization, qualitative choice models, generalized method of moments estimation, and cointegration tests, along with a variety of other useful special purpose procedures. Since this is an archive of source code, useful general purpose utilites will often be available in specific applications. The code is located at the following URL:
