Dynare takes advantage of the fact that the Lagrange multipliers appear
|
||||||
|
linearly in the equations of the steady state of the model under optimal
|
||||||
|
policy. Nevertheless, it is in general very difficult to compute the
|
||||||
|
steady state with simply a numerical guess in @code{initval} for the
|
||||||
|
endogenous variables.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It greatly facilitates the computation, if the user provides an
|
||||||
|
analytical solution for the steady state (in @code{steady_state_model}
|
||||||
|
block or in a @code{@dots{}_steadystate.m} file). In this case, it is
|
||||||
|
necessary to provide a steady state solution CONDITIONAL on the value of
|
||||||
|
the instruments in the optimal policy problem and declared with option
|
||||||
|
@code{instruments}. Note that choosing the instruments is partly a
|
||||||
|
matter of interpretation and you can choose instruments that are handy
|
||||||
|
from a mathematical point of view but different from the instruments you
|
||||||
|
would refer to in the analysis of the paper. Typical example is choosing
|
||||||
|
inflation or nominal interest rate as an instrument.
