Dear Dynare friends,
The Dynare Summer School 2013 will take place from June 24 to June 28, 2013 in Paris, France.
GOALS OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL
The school will provide an introduction to Dynare and to Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) modeling.
The courses will focus on simulation and estimation of DSGE models with Dynare. It will be also the occasion to introduce the new features in Dynare 4.4 (to be released before the Summer School).
Tao Zha (Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta) will be the guest speaker, and will present the Markov-Switching tools in Dynare.
This Summer school is aimed at beginners as well as at more experienced researchers. PhD students are encouraged to participate.

WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION
This is a “portable only” workshop. Each participant is required to come with his/her portable computer with MATLAB version 7.0 or above installed. We will provide WiFi access, but participants shouldn't rely on it to access a MATLAB license server at their own institution. As an alternative to MATLAB, it is possible to use GNU Octave (free software, compatible with MATLAB syntax; see http://www.dynare.org/download/octave for details on GNU Octave installation).
WORKSHOP DRESSING CODE
Business casual.
