I wrote the following code:

Code: Select all

estimation(datafile=data_diff_FHFA,mode_check,mode_compute=5,lik_init=2,mh_replic=0,moments_varendo,mh_nblocks=2,presample = 3,mh_jscale=0.20,mh_drop=0.2,optim=('Display','iter','MaxFunEvals',1500),smoother, forecast=20,conditional_variance_decomposition=[1 4 8 16 20]) DLogQl  DLogQ  DLogC DLogI DLogB LogL Ql I B C Y;

but I cannot find the result of oo_.PosteriorTheoreticalMoments ...

Is there anything wrong?

Yes, you cannot use

Code: Select all

mh_replic=0

When there are no MCMC draws, there is no posterior object to compute.

Thanks!
And...One more question...In

Code: Select all

stoch_simul(...)

, we can use

Code: Select all

conditional_variance_decomposition = [INTEGER1 INTEGER2 ...]

, and in

Code: Select all

estimation(...)

, we can also use

Code: Select all

conditional_variance_decomposition = [INTEGER1 INTEGER2 ...]

. What's the difference? If I write both in one mod file, could they give us the same results?
