The real-time bubble monitoring strategy proposed by Professor Shi is becoming a standard feature in the econometrician's toolkit judging by its already widespread use by the profession.
An addin for Eviews (a popular econometric software in undergraduate teaching) has been developed by an economist from the Bank of Israel for this procedure. Link to the Eviews addin: http://www.eviews.com/Addins/rtadf.aipz
Several R packages have been developed for the real time bubble monitoring strategy:
1. Package psymonitor: Real Time Monitoring of Asset Markets: Bubbles and Crisis by Peter C.B. Phillips, Shuping Shi, and Itamar Caspi
