Appendix: Type of block

• EVALUATE_FORWARD: the block is recursive and the equations have to be simply evaluated. Because the block is backward looking, the simulation is performed from the first period to the last period.
• EVALUATE_BACKWARD: the block is recursive and the equations have to be simply evaluated. Because the block is forward looking, the simulation is performed from the last period to the firs period.
• SOLVE_FORWARD_SIMPLE: the block is composed of only one equation that has to be solved. Because the block is backward looking, the simulation is performed from the first period to the last period.
• SOLVE_ BACKWARD _SIMPLE: the block is composed of only one equation that has to be solved. Because the block is forward looking, the simulation is performed from the last period to the firs period.
• SOLVE_FORWARD_COMPLETE: the block is composed of several equations and it does not contain any lead endogenous variable. It has to be solved period by period from the first period to the last period
• SOLVE_BACKWARD_COMPLETE: the block is composed of several equations and it does not contain any lag endogenous variable. It has to be solved period by period from the last period to the first period
• SOLVE_TWO_BOUNDARIES_COMPLETE or SOLVE_TWO_BOUNDARIES_SIMPLE: the block is composed of equations and it contains lead and lag endogenous variables. The block is simulated, using its stacked-time representation.
