Econometric Tools project ideas

[cimentadaj]

I was browsing through the projects of the tidymodels organization and I see that there's a project on "Econometric Tools" and why people flock to Stata on this topic. I'm not sure where to put this comment, feel free to move it elsewhere if it's relevant elsewhere.

I think incorporating econometric models in some way in the tidymodels framework would be interesting but it's definitely reinventing the wheel since there's quite some work on econometrics in R. In particular, zelig is a bit of the "tidymodels" of econometric modelling, wrapping nearly all standard econometric models into a unified framework. I won't list all of the econometric packages out there because I think zelig can be a good starting point to think about this.

However, it's not in CRAN and looks like it hasn't had any active development for the past two years.
