Training resources

• Repository for training material and capacity building on Modern Macroeconomic Theory and Computational Methods for Macroeconomics are in the training folder: training.
• Note: user_guide in the ntdsge folder contains a practitioner's guide to running DSGE models in Dynare: user guide. It provides the necessary information to use DSGE models for policy analysis and to develop the skills to maintain and improve existing models. The practitioner should have a basic understanding of DSGE models and should be familiar with MATLAB before attempting to use the replication code. Supplementary training resources are available in the training subdirectory, which takes you to the repository for training material and capacity building that was used for the Modelling & Forecasting Unit in the Economic Policy Division at National Treasury. It includes a short MATLAB primer.

Model codes

• Repository containing resources and replication files for DSGE models are in the ntdsge folder: ntdsge.
• Note: this folder has mostly been emptied for the SA-TIED DSGE training workshop for 02 - 06 December 2024.
