RBC_Est

[Vanda]

Hi,

I'm trying to replicate the Bayesian estimation that is done in the User Guide version beta (chapter 5), but I'm having problems with it. When I try to run it, it gives the following messages:

??? Error: File: c:\documents and settings\vanda almeida\my documents\software\dynare\dynare 4\matlab\dynare_estimation.m Line: 829 Column: 48
Expected a variable, function, or constant, found ")".

Error in ==> C:\Documents and Settings\Vanda Almeida\My Documents\Software\Dynare\Dynare 4\doc\userguide\models\RBC_Est.m
On line 132 ==> dynare_estimation(var_list_);

Error in ==> c:\documents and settings\vanda almeida\my documents\software\dynare\dynare 4\matlab\dynare.m
On line 49 ==> evalin('base',fname) ;


I'm just starting on this, so I'm not familiar with the routines and I can´t figure out what the problem is. I would really appreciate if someone could give me a tip about this problem.

Thank you very much.

Dear Vanda,

sorry about that. You are using an older version of Matlab that doesn't accept the syntax (). Just remove the empty parentheses at the end of line 829.
I will fix it in the snapshot.

Best
