Recent Changes to Dynare version 4
Version 4.0.1
Bugs fixed:
- some files are missing in Debian and Ubuntu packages (only affects Matlab users who don't have the Statistics Toolbox)
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)
Improvements:
- new solve_algo=4 for computing steady state: similar to solve_algo=2, except that it behaves differently when the Jacobian becomes nearly singular or badly scaled
- homotopy procedures are more verbose
