= Version 4.1.3 = * Exogenous variables in {{{histval}}} are incorrectly handled in a stochastic setup |
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 4.1.3
Exogenous variables in histval are incorrectly handled in a stochastic setup
Version 4.1.2
- third order approximation can be wrong or make Dynare fail on some models
check command fails in deterministic setup (corrected in unstable 07/23/2010)
the covariance elements of optim_weights (used with osr) are not working properly
in a stochastic setup, model local variables are systematically replaced by their expression in the static/dynamic M/C files, resulting in huge output if there is a lot of such variables (bugfix changeset)
- EXPECTATION operator with a lag makes stoch_simul crash
the histval block is buggy in the presence of auxiliary variables (i.e. when there are lags of two or more)
- the preprocessor crashes when the mean or stderr of an estimated parameter with beta PDF is specified as an expression instead of a plain value
- deterministic simulation with block decomposition crash when there is a purely backward or purely forward block of more than one equation
STEADY_STATE operator does not work with use_dll option or with block without bytecode
- the preprocessor crashes when some dynamic variables appear only in unused model local variables
stoch_simul: in the presence of non-stationary variables, and when selecting only a subset of variables for the output, the "NaN"s in the "mean" column may be wrongly placed
Version 4.1.1
Models with leads on exogenous can be mishandled (creation of AuxiliaryVariables is buggy in that case)
Option mode_compute=6 of estimation command fails under Octave
normcdf() primitive cannot be used with bytecode option
In the macro-processor, integer ranges a:b where a>b are not empty
Version 4.1.0
- Optimal simple rule (OSR) is broken in models with no unit root
- Root mean squared error is wrong for BVAR forecast
- Dynare++ binary shipped in Windows package crashes on some MOD files (it is a problem with the C++ compiler used to create it). Until a new Dynare is released, Windows users should use the Dynare++ binary distributed in the snapshot
- Bug in mode_check when the last screen of plots isn't complete
- dynasave command is broken
- Under Octave 3.0, option stack_solve_algo=3 is broken
- Under Octave/Windows with USE_DLL, Dynare requires option 'cygwin' or 'msvc', although it makes no use of it
- Conditional forecasts are wrong in models with non zero steady state or trends
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)
