Hi Michel,
Why is bayestopt_ saved in <MOD_FILE_NAME>_mode ?
If we change the priors but load <MOD_FILE_NAME>_mode to initialize the optimization routine, the changes in the declared priors are not effective. I spent 20 minutes finding out that my problem was caused by this recent change ;-)
I don't know where you need an old bayestopt_ but we could load only xparam1 and hh in dynare_estimation_1... Do you agree?
Best, Stéphane.
