Dynare codes for Christiano, Motto and Rostagno (2010)

[fabiover]

Dear Dynare users,

for those of you interested in the Christiano, Motto and Rostagno (2010) model (DSGE model with a banking sector),

on my website ( http://fabioverona.rvsteam.net/research_papers_5.html ) you can find the Dynare codes as well as some technical notes on the implementation of that model.

I hope you find these notes useful (any comments are welcome of course)

Best

thanks very much

im slightly confused as to why the net worth equation (eq 13) not being log-linearized in this code? other equations seem to have been linearized. am i missing something?

[ajpirzada]

my fault. its not just the networth equation but all of them are in the non-linearized form as in the CMR appendix. Thanks!

This information provided by you is very constructive for correct planning. I like your work for providing information to the other.

Thanks for your suggestion. I really appreciate that you took all this time to try and help us. Keep up the good work. Keep on taking action.

Hi Fabio

I am experiencing a minor problem when I use your code for the model.

I am using the DYNARE CODE and the notes that you have posted on your website.

Now I want to simulate the model in DYNARE with different parameter values. (I.e. in a loop where a parameter have 3 different values, in order to see the how it for example changes the IRFs)

The code works fine when i USE the steady state file ss_CMR_baseline_US.mat that is in the folder already. However, when I try to change the parameter values in ss_CMR_baseline_US.mat in the workspace and run the mod file no changes occurs. I have also tried to run ss_CMR_baseline.m to create a new steady state file (And I have removed the % signs at the bottom where it saves the parameter values) with different parameters, but when I try to run the code for ss_CMR_baseline.m an error occurs that says:

Code: Select all

Error using erfc
Input must be real and full.

Error in normcdf>localnormcdf (line 124)
p(todo) = 0.5 * erfc(-z ./ sqrt(2));

Error in normcdf (line 46)
[varargout{1:max(1,nargout)}] = localnormcdf(uflag,x,varargin{:});

Error in funcontract2CMR (line 9)
WW = [

Error in @(x)funcontract2CMR(x,RkXUU,sigmaUU,ReXUU,muUU)


Error in trustnleqn (line 200)
    F = feval(funfcn{3},reshape(xTrial,sizes.xRows,sizes.xCols),varargin{:});

Error in fsolve (line 366)
    [x,FVAL,JACOB,EXITFLAG,OUTPUT,msgData]=...

Error in SS_CMR_baseline (line 108)
p = fsolve(@(x) funcontract2CMR(x,RkXUU,sigmaUU,ReXUU,muUU), x0, ...


So it seems to me that the error occurs when calculating the values in ss_CMR_baseline.m, and I don't know how to fix this.

So my questions are:
1) What am I missing? Why can't I just change the parameter in the workspace for the file ss_CMR_baseline_US.mat in order to change the values of the parameters and get different results?

2) Do you(or any in the forum) know how to fix the problem when running ss_CMR_baseline.m

3) Is there another way to change the values of the parameters than through the steady state file?

I would really appreciate all the help I can get.

Best regards

hello,everybody
The parameters of the model can not changed,so it's author's wrong,it can not use for another place.
