Known bugs
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 4.0.4
- decision rules for stochastic models with leads greater than 2 are wrong
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
Debian/Ubuntu package for Matlab 7.4 R2007a (dynare-matlab7.4) doesn't work with Matlab R2006a; a workaround is explained in this forum message
there is a bug in DsgeSmoother.m for models with measurement errors (thanks for hlousek for reporting it) [fixed in snapshot on 9/25]
Octave crashes in mode_check.m, MakeAllFigures.m and PosteriorIRF.m, because of missing saveas() function (thanks to Gianni Lombardo for reporting) [fixed in snapshot]
- estimation crashes when mode_file is specified, at least under Octave (thanks to Gianni Lombardo for reporting) [fixed in snapshot]
Version 4.0.0
- some files are missing in Debian and Ubuntu packages (only affects Matlab users who don't have the Statistics Toolbox) [fixed in 4.0.1]
typo at the top of DiffuseKalmanSmootherH1.m (thanks to Tsu-ting Tim Lin for reporting) [fixed in 4.0.1]
- call to cumulative normal distribution is broken (thanks to Karl Walentin for reporting) [fixed in 4.0.1]
- shocks_file option is missing
- script for building MEX files under Matlab R2008a is broken (thanks to Slim Bridji for reporting) [fixed in 4.0.1]
- homotopy mode 3 is broken [fixed in 4.0.1]
- BVAR à la Sims: Dynare doesn't accept integer values for tau and lambda parameters (thanks to Aqua for reporting) [fixed in 4.0.1]
