dynare

dynare — executes Dynare

Synopsis

dynare FILENAME[.mod]

Description

dynare executes instruction included in filename.mod. filename.mod is the name of the model file containing the model and the processing instructions.

Details

In Matlab, dynare creates three intermediary files:

  • filename.m with the instructions for the simulations

  • filename_ff.m with the dynamic model equations

  • filename_fff.m with the long run static model equations

In Scilab, dynare creates three intermediary files:

  • filename.sci with the instructions for the simulations

  • filename_ff.sci with the dynamic model equations

  • filename_fff.sci with the long run static model equations

In Gauss, dynare creates an intermediary file filename.gau with the instructions for the simulations. The Gauss version still accepts the former .mdl extension, but it is now deprecated.

These files may be looked at to understand errors reported at the simulation stage.

Output

Depending on the computing tasks requested in the *.mod file, executing command dynare will leave in the workspace variables containing results available for further processing. More details are given under the relevant computing tasks.

Under Matlab, some results are also saved in a file called FILENAME_results.mat. Currently, this file contains when available the structures dr_ and oo_.
