Question about defining parameters in Julia?

General Usage
1

Dear all,

Is this a good way to define parameters in Julia?

using Parameters

para_def = @with_kw (
    β=0.87,
    δ=0.06,
    γ=2,
    α=0.35,
    wage=1,
    za=1,
    ϵ=3,
    μ=ϵ / (ϵ - 1),
    D=1,
    phil=0.00,
    nzp=2,
    zp_sd_target=0.43,
    piL=0.80,
    nq=1,
    ntau=1,
    nzt=11,
    rho_zt=0.59,
    sigma_zt=0.13,
    runexp=1,
    nr=6,
    chi0=0.98,
    chi1=0.047,
    psi=3.2,
    k_l=0.01,
    k_h=6.0,
    a_l=0.01,
    a_h=3.0,
    na=50,
    nk=50,
    Nh=20,
    Tshock=400,
    Nfirms = 10000,
    Tperiods = 500)


paras = para_def()

If they are constant this looks reasonable to me. If not use a mutable struct.

I use .yaml files for readability, but that has more overhead:
