The Windows binaries of Dynare 4.2.4 are not compatible with Octave 3.4.3. You need to install Octave 3.2.4 located here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.2.4%20for%20Windows%20MinGW32%20Installer/ For ...

HI.. I'm using dynare (4.2.4) on windows 7 platform with GNU octave version 3.4.3 and have installed all the programs and files as per the instructions. i followed the procedures in the dynare guide to start an example file and typed the following command ...

... forecast the output gap is there an output file produced that contains the values of the forecasts or can i export the values to excel ? I'm using octave 3.2.4 and Dynare 4.2.3

This is a bug in Octave 3.2.4.

The problem disappears with Octave 3.4.3. Try to upgrade, there are compiled versions of Octave 3.4.3 for Windows there: http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForWindows

Best,

You should remove dynare 3 from your path (to use the matlab/octave implementation). This can be done by issuing the following command in matlab: rmpath D:\Quant\Dynare\dynare_v3\matlab I don't remember if this command has permanent effect. You can also ...

... programme for some time, and it always works a charm. Thanks so much for this excellent initiative! Just now, I tested it when using Dynare with Octave, rather than Matlab, and it fails, ostensibly because Octave cannot find a "DairyFile", but probably because there are differences ...

... Dynare++? You don't need to add any path for Dynare++: all you need is to launch the executable from a DOS command prompt (and not from MATLAB or Octave!). Also, it is normal if nothing is displayed in the screen: Dynare++ puts all its results in files (log file, result file...). See the Dynare++ ...

... the same sequence of results, by default. I am doing some simulation based estimation, and need many different simulated sequences. I'm also using Octave, not Matlab. Ideally, would like Dynare to use Octave's random number state, but I don't quite see how to do that. Otherwise, some other method ...

How did you create the MAT file? I guess something is wrong with the way you created it, since Octave is able to load MAT files. Also note that you are running a very old version of Dynare (4.0.4), you should upgrade to the latest (4.2.2). Your version of Octave is also ...

... All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. This release is compatible with MATLAB versions ranging from 7.0 (R14) to 7.13 (R2011b) and with GNU Octave versions ranging from 3.0 to 3.4.
