I always used the naming scheme since I am bad on memorizing numbers. However, I can imagine 3 reasons for using the numbering scheme: 1) The names may be too big and cumbersome to list 2) The names may have no significance, like col_3a 3) The columns may have no name, and the parameters would look like, for example b_4, b_2, b_12, d_8,d_5 4) Other reasons don't antecipate |

| I suggest that we remove the argument "showParNames" and always use names like beta_capital, beta_labor, etc., because I think that there is no reason to have names like beta_1, beta_2, etc. Do you agree? | |

| I implemented it in my last commit, introducing the argument "showParNames". I think it is a little long, but I couldn't think of a best name. Any idea? | |

| I agree with you about abbreviating beta and delta, since variables starting with d_ and b_ are not too common. Also, when using names the user already have a good idea of what each name refers to. | |

| This is a good point. I wonder, if we should abbreviate "beta_capital", "delta_exper" etc. by "b_capital", "d_exper" etc. What do you think? | |

In the output, each components the parameters beta and delta have names like beta1, beta2, etc. May be it would be more interesting to have a name like beta_capital, beta_labor etc, where the names would come from xNames and zNames? It could be possible to switch between the two naming scheme through an argument on function frontier. |
