function options_mom_ = default_option_mom_values(options_mom_, options_, dname, doBayesianEstimation)
% function options_mom_ = default_option_mom_values(options_mom_, options_, dname, doBayesianEstimation)
% Returns structure containing the options for method_of_moments command
% options_mom_ is local and contains default and user-specified values for
% all settings needed for the method of moments estimation. Some options,
% though, are set by the preprocessor into options_ and we copy these over.
% The idea is to be independent of options_ and have full control of the
% estimation instead of possibly having to deal with options chosen somewhere
% else in the mod file.

% options_mom_ = default_option_mom_values(options_mom_, options_, dname, doBayesianEstimation)
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Returns structure containing the options for method_of_moments command.
% Note 1: options_mom_ is local and contains default and user-specified
% values for all settings needed for the method of moments estimation.
% Some options, though, are set by the preprocessor into options_ and we
% copy these over. The idea is to be independent of options_ and have full
% control of the estimation instead of possibly having to deal with options
% chosen somewhere else in the mod file.
% Note 2: we call a "mode" the minimum of the objective function, i.e.
% the parameter vector that minimizes the distance between the moments/irfs
% computed from the model and the moments/irfs computed from the data.
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% INPUTS
% o options_mom_: [structure] information about all (user-specified and updated) settings used in estimation (options_mom_)
% o options_: [structure] information on global options
% o dname: [string] name of directory to store results
% o doBayesianEstimation [boolean] indicator whether we do Bayesian estimation
% o options_mom_: [structure] all user-specified settings (from the method_of_moments command)
% o options_: [structure] global options
% o dname: [string] default name of directory to store results
% o doBayesianEstimation [boolean] indicator whether we do Bayesian estimation
% -------------------------------------------------------------------------
% OUTPUTS
% o oo_: [structure] storage for results (oo_)
% o options_mom_: [structure] information about all (user-specified and updated) settings used in estimation (options_mom_)
