Installation

• Download this *.zip file: TheEconomicsPack.zip (ca 6 MB):
• Unpack to your $InstallationDirectory Mathematica directory in its AddOns/Applications subdirectory. This creates the .../AddOns/Applications/Economics directory and its subdirectories (ca 25 MB).
• Alternatively, when you unpack elsewhere, you can also copy and paste the Economics directory to that location.
• PM. On unpacking: Though Mathematica can read packages and notebooks independently from various operating systems, there still is the issue of transferring from one system to the other. However, modern expanders can handle the *.zip format.

Properly installed, you can start the Pack by having Mathematica evaluate Needs["Economics`Pack`"].

The Pack will ask for your password. You only need it once. (Henceforth it will be read from a small Password.txt file in the Economics directory.) To get your password, email cool@dataweb.nl, and you will receive your password by reply email. Send me: (a) proof of your payment and (b) your Mathematica Licence number $LicenseID or your machine number $MachineID. (NB. Holders of a single user licence for the Economics Pack on a network machine, with a Mathematica Network $LicenseID, will have to send in their $MachineID.)

Notes: (1) Proof of payment can come e.g. from the bank or the reseller. Your $LicenseID and $MachineID can be found by evaluating these symbols in Mathematica, which can be done without the Economics Pack installed. If you send your $LicenseID then you can use the Pack with your copy of Mathematica. (2) Also, if you are working as a single user with Mathematica on the network, you might be advised to contact your systems manager for installing the Pack in the same directory where Mathematica is installed. The Pack can be installed in the $InstallationDirectory, $BaseDirectory or the $UserBaseDirectory, but the first seems preferable. (3) Note this Horror Cabinet of other things that can go wrong.
