DynareOBC v3.00.1811
This is a major new release incorporating improvements along many dimensions.
The major changes are detailed below:
- This release now saves IRFs and simulation paths in the base workspace as well, for greater compatibility with Dynare.
- This release now runs any MATLAB code in the MOD file after the
stoch_simul
command, for greater Dynare compatibility. - A new option
MinParametricSolutionParallelisationDimension
has been added allowing one to control when the generation of a parametric solution is parallelized. By default it is now no longer parallelized, speeding up performing small tasks with DynareOBC. - A new option
SkipQuickPCheck
to skip the "quick" check of the contiguous sub-matrices of M. - Support for generating IRFs with
MLVSimulationMode=1
withoutSlowIRFs
. - New examples: Guerrieri and Iacoviello (2017) and Adjemian, Daracq Paries Moyen (2007).
- New code for running all and each example.
- Cleaner organisation of the examples directory, with some moved to Tests.
- A heavily reworked theory paper.
Additionally, this release has the following fixes:
- Corrected links to redistributables in the readmes.
- An epsilon correction to the limit of diagonals criterion.
- Improvements and clarifications to various messages providing model diagnostics.
- Further comments about the experimental status of the estimation code.
- A bug fix to the display of moments when there are none to display.
- Updated folder names for the examples which have been subsequently published.
- Updated ReplicationDetails for the models now in Tests.
- Minor corrections to the Smets Wouters (2003) MOD files.
- Tidying up of the Fernandez-Villaverde et al (2015) MOD files, with the transformation engine now in one sub-folder, and other MOD includes in another.
- Changed the MOD files for the Boneva Braun Waki (2016) model to use the calibration from the published version, not the older working paper.
- Better handling of failures of the Blanchard Kahn conditions.
- Assorted speed-ups, particularly when running diagnostics with large
TimeToEscapeBounds
. - Supressed some warnings coming from Dynare's use of
clear all
. - Cleaned up formatting of M and MOD files throughout.
- Minor improvements to ReadMe text.
- A fix for the MLV simulation of purely forward looking models.
