Sets the seed used for random number generation. It is possible to set
a given integer value, to use a default value, or to use the clock (by
using the latter, one will therefore get different results across
different Dynare runs). The reset
option serves to reset the
seed to the value set by the last set_dynare_seed
command. On
MATLAB 7.8 or above, it is also possible to choose a specific
algorithm for random number generation; accepted values are
mcg16807
, mlfg6331_64
, mrg32k3a
, mt19937ar
(the default), shr3cong
and swb2712
.
For all parameters, endogenous and exogenous variables, stores their value in a text file, using a simple name/value associative table.
Note that no variable type is stored in the file, so that the values
can be reloaded with load_params_and_steady_state
in a setup where
the variable types are different.
The typical usage of this function is to compute the steady-state of a model by calibrating the steady-state value of some endogenous variables (which implies that some parameters must be endogeneized during the steady-state computation).
You would then write a first ‘.mod’ file which computes the
steady state and saves the result of the computation at the end of the
file, using save_params_and_steady_state
.
In a second file designed to perform the actual simulations, you would
use load_params_and_steady_state
just after your variable
declarations, in order to load the steady state previously computed
(including the parameters which had been endogeneized during the
steady state computation).
The need for two separate ‘.mod’ files arises from the fact that
the variable declarations differ between the files for steady state
calibration and for simulation (the set of endogenous and parameters
differ between the two); this leads to different var
and
parameters
statements.
Also note that you can take advantage of the @#include
directive to share the model equations between the two files
(see section Macro-processing language).
For all parameters, endogenous and exogenous variables, loads
their value from a file created with save_params_and_steady_state
.
This function is used in conjunction with
save_params_and_steady_state
; see the documentation of that
function for more information.
Output the version of Dynare that is currently being used (i.e. the one that is highest on the MATLAB/Octave path).
Writes the names, LaTeX names and long names of model variables to
tables in a file named <<M_.fname>>_latex_definitions.tex
. Requires the
following LaTeX packages: longtable
Writes the LaTeX names, parameter names, and long names of model parameters to
a table in a file named <<M_.fname>>_latex_parameters.tex
. The command writes the values
of the parameters currently stored. Thus, if parameters are set or changed in the steady state
computation, the command should be called after a steady
-command to make sure the
parameters were correctly updated. The long names can be used to add parameter descriptions. Requires the
following LaTeX packages: longtable, booktabs
Writes descriptive statistics about the prior distribution to a LaTeX table
in a file named <<M_.fname>>_latex_priors_table.tex
. The command writes
the prior definitions currently stored. Thus, this command must be invoked
after the estimated_params
block. If priors are defined over the
measurement errors, the command must also be preceeded by the declaration of
the observed variables (with varobs
). The command displays a warning if
no prior densities are defined (ML estimation) or if the declaration of the
observed variables is missing. Requires the following LaTeX packages:
longtable, booktabs
Writes a LaTeX file named <<M_.fname>>_TeX_binder.tex
that collects all TeX output generated by Dynare
into a file. This file can be compiled using pdflatex and automatically tries to load all required packages.
Requires the following LaTeX packages: breqn
, psfrag
,
graphicx
, epstopdf
, longtable
, booktabs
, caption
,
float
, amsmath
, amsfonts
, and morefloats
