Initialization of Kalman filter for estimation

Postby lionel » Sat Jun 18, 2016 10:02 pm

I guess that when estimating a stationary model, dynare uses the steady state values of the variables to initialize the Kalman filter. Is it possible to choose different initial values for the variables? Thanks!

I tend to say no. What do you have in mind?
