Description

As suggested by Serge. Use data on cotton exports from Benin?

This could be a lecture on how to estimate a Markov chain using ML, with cotton output/exports as the state. We have code for this in quantecon.py.

And/or estimate as an AR process.

Presumably there will be seasonal fluctuations, so this will have to be part of the state.
