This directory contains files used to do the maximum likelihood
estimation for the postwar period and to generate results in 
Figures 5-8, 13-14, and the technical appendix of
                                                                                
    Business Cycle Accounting
    Staff Report 328
    by V.V. Chari, Patrick Kehoe, and Ellen McGrattan
                                                                                
The files pwbca.m and pwbca_adj.m are the main routines
for generating postwar results.  For full details on 
computation and estimation, see the appendix in directory 
./tex/appendices.
