14th Dynare Conference
by Michel Juillard 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Dear Friends, The 14th Dynare Conference (http://www.dynare.org) will be held in Frankfurt, Germany, at the European Central Bank, on July 5-6, 2018. The conference is organized by the European Central Bank together with Banque de France, the Dynare Project at CEPREMAP and DSGE-net. 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. Stephanie Schmitt-Grohé (Columbia University) and Peter Karadi (ECB) 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 submit a complete manuscript or a detailed abstract in PDF format at http://dynare.mjui.fr. If you don't have already an account on the server, you will need to create one. Deadline for submission is March 30, 2018. Authors of accepted papers will be informed by April 20, 2018. Accepted papers will be 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 doesn't prohibit submission to another working paper series. Contact: conference(a)dynare.org<mailto:conference@dynare.org> Conference Organizers: Ivan Jaccard (ECB), Anton Nakov (ECB), Sebastien Schmidt (ECB), Michel Juillard (Banque de France). -- Michel Juillard

Release of Dynare 4.5.4
by Stéphane Adjemian 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Dear Dynare users and friends, We are pleased to announce the release of Dynare 4.5.4. 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 LTS) should follow soon. This release is compatible with MATLAB versions 7.5 (R2007b) to 9.3 (R2017b) and with GNU Octave versions 4.2. Here is a list of the problems identified in version 4.5.3 and that have been fixed in version 4.5.4: - The `type` option of `plot_shock_decomposition` was always set to `qoq` regardless of what is specified. - Bug in GSA when no parameter was detected below pvalue threshold. - Various bug fixes in shock decompositions. - Bug in reading in macro arrays passed on `dynare` command line via the `-D` option. - Estimation with missing values was crashing if the `prefilter` option was used. - Added a workaround for a difference in behaviour between Octave and Matlab regarding the creation of function handles for functions that do not exist in the path. With Octave 4.2.1, steady state files did not work if no auxiliary variables were created. - The `stoch_simul` command was crashing with a cryptic message if option `order=3` was used without setting `k_order_solver`. - In cases where the prior bounds are infinite and the mode is estimated at exactly 0, no `mode_check` graphs were displayed. - Parallel execution of MCMC was broken in models without auxiliary variables. - Reading data with column names from Excel might crash. - The multivariate Kalman smoother was crashing in case of missing data in the observations and `Finf` became singular. - The `plot_shock_decomposition` command ignored various user-defined options like `fig_name`, `use_shock_groups` or `interactive` and instead used the default options. - Nested `@#ifdef` and `@#ifndef` statements don't work in the macroprocessor. On behalf of the Dynare Team, Stéphane.
