Hi Sebastien

You seem to be right, well spotted.

The system seems to work without the two QZ files and I will delete those from the distribution.

I seem to have had an alternative version of (a subset) of the full set of AIM utilities at Gary's site, both, given in an emailed zipped file earlier in the year containing those two files as well as SPSparse.

I can see now that the files I used use both sparse() and SPSparse() whilst the files from the full set use sparse() only and SPSparse is obviously needed in the set we used so far. I am a bit reluctant just now to replace all files in the Dynare AIM set with those from the full AIM distribution just to remove SPSparse.

To do that replacement I also need to do some testing (unless you want to do that anyway) and I may be able to finish all that by end of tomorrow the earliest.

Best regards

Hi George,

I intend to give proper license headers to all files under the AIM/ subdirectory (since Gary has said that their are in the public domain).

By comparing to Gary's original files, I noticed that 3 files of the Dynare distribution are not in the ZIP file downloadable from the Fed's website:

• SPEigQZ.m
• SPQZ.m
• SPSparse.m

The first two seem to be never used in the code, while the third one is simply a call to sparse() and therefore could easily be removed.

Is there any good reason to keep these files, and, if yes, who owns the copyright?

Best

Sébastien
