This page documents known bugs in Dynare. A bug is associated with the latest version in which it appears (i.e. it has been or will be fixed in the next version).
Version 4.1.0
- Root mean squared error is wrong for BVAR forecast
Commands prior_analysis and posterior_analysis are broken
- Bug in mode_check when the last screen of plots isn't complete (fixed in master and branch 4.1)
Version 4.0.4
- 2nd order approximation of decision rules for stochastic models with leads greater than 2 are wrong
in deterministic models, putting a shocks block before an endval block leads to wrong results; the right order is to put endval before shocks
- this version doesn't support MATLAB R2009a and R2009b on 64-bit platforms
in estimation, option mode_file shouldn't be used if the posterior mode has been computed for a model with a different specification, even if the list of estimated parameters is the same. This can result in wrong results without error message
- with Octave, in stochastic simulations, Dynare will return wrong eigenvalues if the MEX file "mjdgges" is not present
- the resid() function messes up things when doing deterministic simulations, and should be avoided in that case
Version 4.0.2
Option dr_algo has been suppressed without warning in this version
Version 4.0.1
- shocks_file option is missing
there is a bug in DsgeSmoother.m for models with measurement errors (thanks for hlousek for reporting it)
Octave crashes in mode_check.m, MakeAllFigures.m and PosteriorIRF.m, because of missing saveas() function (thanks to Gianni Lombardo for reporting)
- estimation crashes when mode_file is specified, at least under Octave (thanks to Gianni Lombardo for reporting)
Version 4.0.0
typo at the top of DiffuseKalmanSmootherH1.m (thanks to Tsu-ting Tim Lin for reporting)
- call to cumulative normal distribution is broken (thanks to Karl Walentin for reporting)
- script for building MEX files under Matlab R2008a is broken (thanks to Slim Bridji for reporting)
- homotopy mode 3 is broken
- BVAR à la Sims: Dynare doesn't accept integer values for tau and lambda parameters (thanks to Aqua for reporting)
