how to get 'FilteredVariablesShockDecomposition'

Postby lombard » Thu Feb 02, 2012 4:27 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to run GPM (downloaded from Douglas Laxton's web page http://www.douglaslaxton.org/id4.html).

I get the error message
??? Reference to non-existent field 'FilteredVariablesShockDecomposition'.

Error in ==> calc_fcast_all_4a at 106
Udecomp(:,jnk,t,:) = ...

Error in ==> soe1bayes at 1593
[fy,fx,Fy,Fx,Udecomp,ndiffuse] = calc_fcast_all_4a;

Error in ==> dynare at 120
evalin('base',fname) ;

It seems to me that Dynare 4.2.4 (that I'm running) needs different/new options in order to compute this variable.
WHAT COMMAND/OPTION SHOULD I USE?
These are the options I have

[SOLVED]: how to get 'FilteredVariablesShockDecomposition' [

Postby lombard » Thu Feb 02, 2012 5:01 pm

Apparently the
Code: Select all
options_.filter_decomposition=1;
must now be given
Also notice that in the GPM folder the function calc_fcast_all_4a.m needs to be amended as the options_.Smoother.integration_order does not exist in Dynare 4.2.4.

Actually it is possible that the GPM code on Laxton's website is a little updated, and designed to work with an older version of Dynare.

There exists an up-to-date version of GPM (with 6 regions) which works with the latest Dynare, but it is not publicly available. You can either contact the IMF Modeling Unit or CEPREMAP (gpm-info AT cepremap.org) if you want access to this code.

Thanks a lot. I'll check out GPM6
