Simulations in Dynare

Hi there,

Is it possible in Dynare to obtain simulated data (simulated realisations) after bayesian estimation so that you can run regression with the simulated output?
Ie, obtain simulations of the endogenous variables in the model? Is this what the "policy and transition functions" output presents?

Thanks

No, this is not what
policy and transition functions

mean. These are the rules for computing simulations.
To your question: after estimation, you can include a call to
Code: Select all
stoch_simul
with the
Code: Select all
periods
option. This allows you to generate simulated data at the posterior mean. Things are more complicated if you want to simulate series from the whole posterior distribution instead of the mean/mode.
