abstract: >-
  An open platform for answering economic and public-policy questions with
  transparent, reproducible models. PolicyEngine Macro places household
  microsimulation, macroeconometric scenarios, structural VAR shock
  identification, heterogeneous-agent dynamics and long-run overlapping
  generations analysis behind a common discovery and run surface — a CLI and
  a hosted MCP server — alongside an append-only point-in-time archive of the
  official statistics the models are conditioned on.

# Not yet claimed: `doi` and `identifiers`. A DOI becomes available once
# releases are minted and the repository is connected to Zenodo; see
# CONTRIBUTING.md. Adding a placeholder DOI would break every citation that
# copied it.
#
# Each model class carries its own upstream citation. Citing this repository
# credits the integration, the archive and the site — not the underlying
# models. When a result depends on a specific model, cite that model's own
# paper as well; the per-model references live under `papers/`.
