4.22 Displaying and saving results

Dynare has comments to plot the results of a simulation and to save the results.

Command: rplot VARIABLE_NAME…;

Plots the simulated path of one or several variables, as stored in oo_.endo_simul by either perfect_foresight_solver, simul (see Deterministic simulation) or stoch_simul with option periods (see Computing the stochastic solution). The variables are plotted in levels.

Command: dynatype (FILENAME) [VARIABLE_NAME…];

This command prints the listed variables in a text file named FILENAME. If no VARIABLE_NAME is listed, all endogenous variables are printed.

Command: dynasave (FILENAME) [VARIABLE_NAME…];

This command saves the listed variables in a binary file named FILENAME. If no VARIABLE_NAME are listed, all endogenous variables are saved.

In MATLAB or Octave, variables saved with the dynasave command can be retrieved by the command:

load -mat FILENAME
