Dynare forums

Hi there,

The shock_decomposition command does not work for me with dynare 4.1.2. Matlab reports the error message below. I believe it should be a problem with the code because the same command, with the same .mod file, works perfectly well with dynare 4.1.0. Could you please check? Thanks

As you can see, MATLAB ran out of memory. So this is not necessary a bug in Dynare, it could just be that your MATLAB exhausted memory during that particular run.

Are you able to replicate several times a successful estimation with 4.1.0 and an out-of-memory error with 4.1.2 ?

If yes, then this may be a bug in Dynare. Please post your MOD file in that case.
