9th Dynare Conference (call for papers)
by Michel Juillard 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

The 9th annual DYNARE Conference (http://www.dynare.org) will be held in Shanghai, at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE), on October 29-30, 2013. The conference is organized by the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE) together with Bank of France, DSGE-net, and the Dynare project at CEPREMAP. The DYNARE conference will feature the work of leading scholars in dynamic macroeconomic modeling and provide an excellent opportunity to present your own research results. Chris Sims (Princeton University) and Oreste Tristani (European Central Bank) will be plenary speakers. Submissions of papers dealing with different aspects of DSGE modeling and computational methods are all welcome. Papers using other software tools than DYNARE or theoretical contributions are also encouraged. Paper submission procedure: please, fill out the paper submission form available at http://www.dynare.org/ocs/index.php/conference/conf2013 and upload a complete manuscript or a detailed abstract in PDF format. Deadline for submissions is May 31, 2013. Authors of accepted papers will be informed by June 30, 2013. We encourage that authors also submit their papers to a special issue of Frontiers of Economics in China (FEC)? All submissions are subject to peer review. FEC (http://iar.shufe.edu.cn/structure/iar/fec/) is one of the few English language economics journals in China and is under the umbrella of Frontiers in China, the largest series of Chinese academic journals. SUFE is expecting to include 8-10 papers in the special issue to be published in 2014. Accepted papers will be automatically considered for publication in the Dynare Working Papers series (http://www.dynare.org/wp) conditional on the agreement of the submitter. Note that publication in the Dynare WP does not prohibit submission to another working paper series. Contact: conference(a)dynare.org Conference organizers: Kevin Huang (Vanderbilt University), Michel Juillard (Bank of France), and Tao Zha (Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta). Local organizers: Guan Gong (SUFE) and Fang Wang (SUFE) -- Michel Juillard

Release of Dynare 4.3.3
by Sébastien Villemot 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Dear Dynare friends, We are pleased to announce the release of Dynare 4.3.3. This is a bugfix release. The Windows packages are already available for download at: http://www.dynare.org/download/dynare-stable The Mac and GNU/Linux packages (for Debian and Ubuntu) should follow soon. All users are encouraged to upgrade. The new release is compatible with MATLAB versions ranging from 7.0 (R14) to 8.1 (R2013a) and with GNU Octave versions ranging from 3.2 to 3.6. Here is a list of the problems identified in version 4.3.2 and that have been fixed in version 4.3.3: - Estimation with measurement errors was wrong if a correlation between two measurement errors was calibrated - Option `use_dll' was broken under Windows - Degenerate case of purely static models (no leads/no lags) were not correctly handled - Deterministic simulations over a single period were not correctly done - The sensitivity call `dynare_sensitivity(identification=1,morris=2)' was buggy when there are no shocks estimated - Calls to `shock_decomposition' after using `selected_variables_only' option fail - Sometimes, only the last open graph was saved, leading to missing and duplicate EPS/PDF graphs - Forecasting after maximum likelihood estimation when not forecasting at least one observed variables (`var_obs') was leading to crashes - Some functionalities were crashing with MATLAB 8.1/R2013a (bytecode, MS-SBVAR) - Sometimes only the first order autocorrelation of `moments_varendo' was saved instead of all up to the value of `ar' option On behalf of the Dynare Team, -- Sébastien Villemot Researcher in Economics Dynare developer http://www.dynare.org/sebastien
