Command: dsample INTEGER [INTEGER];

Reduces the number of periods considered in subsequent output commands.

Command: periods INTEGER;

Description

This command is now deprecated (but will still work for older model files). It is not necessary when no simulation is performed and is replaced by an option periods in perfect_foresight_setup, simul and stoch_simul.

This command sets the number of periods in the simulation. The periods are numbered from 1 to INTEGER. In perfect foresight simulations, it is assumed that all future events are perfectly known at the beginning of period 1.

Example

periods 100;
