Codes

Dynare steady state toolbox.

Provides a set of matlab routines that translate a matlab script computing the steady state of a DSGE model into something readable by dynare (i.e. conforming to what is expected in a *_steadystate2.m file generated by Dynare from the equations in the steady_state_model block). Examples are provided in the tests subfolder. This toolbox is far less efficient than Dynare in producing the *_steadystate2.m routine (because the code is generated by matlab, while in Dynare the C++ preprocessor is used), but the resulting code is as efficient as the one produced by Dynare. The advantage is flexibility. All that can be done in a user written *_steadystate.m routine (loops, conditional statements, fixed point routines, definition of custom traps and error flags, …) can be done with this toolbox with the same efficiency as Dynare's steady_state_model (which cannot handle loops and conditional constructs). The code is available on Github, or you can download the last release as a ZIP archive: version 0.1.0. Please use Github issues if you want to report a bug or missing feature. Contributions are welcome.

Growthless Deterministic Growth Model.

This is just a small example of perfect foresight model with an analytical steadys state. The mod and steadystate file are self documented: dog.mod, dog_steadystatestate.m

Smets and Wouters (AER, 2007) like model.

The mod and steadystate files are provided without any documentation, but are (should be) human (macroeconomist or dynare user) readable. The steadystate file is called by dynare to compute the deterministic steady state of the non-linear model. Note that with recent version of dynare (>=4.2) it is possible to declare the analytical steady state directly in the mod file. The main limit of this new feature are that exceptions cannot be defined (for some values of the deep parameters a sensible steady state may not exist). The provided steadystate file uses persistent variables for speed improvements and defines a set of exceptions (for instance if the depreciation rate is found to be negative negative for some values of the deep parameters and/or calibrated/estimated steady state ratios): sw.mod, sw_steadystate.m.
