Dynare comes with a database of example ``.mod`` files, which are
designed to show a broad range of Dynare features, and are taken from
academic papers for most of them. You should have these files in the
``examples`` subdirectory of your distribution.

Here is a short list of the examples included. For a more complete
description, please refer to the comments inside the files themselves.

``ramst.mod``

    An elementary real business cycle (RBC) model, simulated in a
    deterministic setup.

``example1.mod``
``example2.mod``

    Two examples of a small RBC model in a stochastic setup, presented
    in *Collard (2001)* (see the file ``guide.pdf`` which comes with
    Dynare).

``example3.mod``

    A small RBC model in a stochastic setup, presented in *Collard
    (2001)*. The steady state is solved analytically using the
    ``steady_state_model`` block (see :bck:`steady_state_model`).

``fs2000.mod``

    A cash in advance model, estimated by *Schorfheide (2000)*. The
    file shows how to use Dynare for estimation.

``fs2000_nonstationary.mod``

    The same model than ``fs2000.mod``, but written in non-stationary
    form. Detrending of the equations is done by Dynare.

``bkk.mod``

    Multi-country RBC model with time to build, presented in *Backus,
    Kehoe and Kydland (1992)*. The file shows how to use Dynare’s
    macro processor.

``agtrend.mod``

    Small open economy RBC model with shocks to the growth trend,
    presented in *Aguiar and Gopinath (2004)*.

``Gali_2015.mod``

    Basic New Keynesian model of *Galí (2015)*, Chapter 3 showing how to
    i) use "system prior"-type prior restrictions as in *Andrle and Plašil (2018)*
    and ii) run prior/posterior-functions.

``NK_baseline.mod``

    Baseline New Keynesian Model estimated in *Fernández-Villaverde
    (2010)*. It demonstrates how to use an explicit steady state file
    to update parameters and call a numerical solver.

``Occbin_example.mod``

    RBC model with two occasionally binding constraints. Demonstrates
    how to set up Occbin.

``Ramsey_Example.mod``

    File demonstrating how to conduct optimal policy experiments in a 
    simple New Keynesian model either under commitment (Ramsey) or using
    optimal simple rules (OSR)

``Ramsey_steady_file.mod``

    File demonstrating how to conduct optimal policy experiments in a 
    simple New Keynesian model under commitment (Ramsey) with a user-defined
    conditional steady state file
