Hi, 
I am wondering when we should add hp_filter option in stoch_simul. 
All the examples given by J. Fernandez-Villaverde used the option hp_filter=1600. If I delete this option, the results of moments change a lot. It seems that all the variables are stationary in those rbc models, then why they should be hp-filtered before calculating the moments? 
Thanks.
Emma
