ABRSQOL
Quality-of-Life Solver for "Measuring Quality of Life under Spatial Frictions"
Description
This toolkit implements a numerical solution algorithm to invert a quality of life measure from observed data. Unlike the traditional Rosen-Roback measure, this measure accounts for mobility frictions—generated by idiosyncratic tastes and local ties — and trade frictions — generated by trade costs and non-tradable services, thereby reducing non-classical measurement error. The QoL measure is based on Ahlfeldt, Bald, Roth, Seidel (2024) <https://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:boc:bocode:s459382> "Measuring Quality of Life under Spatial Frictions". When using this programme or the toolkit in your work, please cite the paper.
