For deterministic simulations, Dynare uses a Newton-type algorithm, first

proposed by Laffargue (1990), instead of a first order technique like

<para>Variables used in a <replaceable>MODEL_EXPRESSION</replaceable> denote <emphasis>current period</emphasis> values when neither a lead or a lag is given. A lead or a lag can be given by enclosing an integer between parenthesis just after the variable name: a positive integer means a lead, a negative one means a lag. Leads or lags of more than one period are allowed. For example, if <literal>c</literal> is an endogenous variable, then <literal>c(+1)</literal> is the variable one period ahead, and <literal>c(-2)</literal> is the variable two periods before.</para>

<para>DESCRIBE DYNARE TIMING CONVENTION...</para>
|
||||
<para>When specifying the leads and lags of endogenous variables, it is important to respect the following convention: in Dynare, the timing of a variable reflects when that variable is decided. A control variable - which by definition is decided in the current period - must have no lead. A predetermined variable - which by definition has been decided in a previous period - must have a lag. A consequence of this is that all stock variables must use the "stock at the end of the period" convention. Please refer to <xref linkend="bib:userguide"/> for more details and concrete examples.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Leads and lags are primarily used for endogenous variables. They can be used for exogenous variables under some conditions (TO BE EXPLICITED). They are forbidden for parameters and for local model variables (see <xref linkend="model"/>).</para>
