   * change default of prior_mc to 1 => set parameter values at which to check identification: posterior mode, prior mode, posterior mean... (we should probably introduce a syntax that will be reused for stoch_simul after estimation, for the smoother, for forecast after estimation...)

Identification

Local identification

  • keyword + option in preprocessor
  • entry function: dynare_identification (move to special directory)
  • polishing
    • change default of prior_mc to 1 => set parameter values at which to check identification: posterior mode, prior mode, posterior mean... (we should probably introduce a syntax that will be reused for stoch_simul after estimation, for the smoother, for forecast after estimation...)

    • add declaration of parameter list (after the list of options, like the list of variables for stoch_simul)
    • rename options_ident.prior_range -> use_prior_shape (+ preprocessor)

    • streamline output
      • rank condition
      • if not satisfied, why ?
    • needs documentation + test
  • further developments:
    • SVD decomposition of Jacobian matrix
    • derivative of Kalman filter for derivative of information matrix
      • (also useful for optimization)
  • References: Helsinki Conference paper + papers cited there in

Global identification

  • exploration stage
  • consequences for unicity of steady state
  • provide 2nd derivatives of the static model Ticket #127

Steady State

  • check global/local use of M_.params when some parameters are changed in the computation of the steady state (partially done)
  • steady_state_model:
    • explore possibility of providing 1st and 2nd derivatives of analytical steady state with respect to parameters
    • provide for call to fsolve() with Dynare model sub-blocs (equation tag ?) (to be implemented)
    • exceptions (return with penalty, alternative functional forms such as Cobb-Douglas as a degenerate case of CES) for some parameter and endogenous variable values
    • allow # expressions in steady_state_model (derivatives are transparent)
    • allow for modification of parameters in steady_state_model (! derivatives)
  • STEADY_STATE operator: derivative with respect to parameter is NOT zero in dynamic model. Derivative of steady state with respect to parameter needs to be provided to dynamic model derivator (current bug, Ticket #128)
