Using Dynare with MATLAB (R)

Dynare requires MATLAB (R) version 7.9 (R2009b) or above. With older versions

of MATLAB (R), it may fail or give unexpected results.

Using Dynare with Octave

put it in a file called '.octaverc' in your home directory ('c:\Documents and

Dynamic Loadable Libraries
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
──────────────────────────
|
||||
|
||||
For better performance, some parts of Dynare are written in the C++ language,
|
||||
which is faster than standard M-files. These parts are compiled and distributed
|
||||
as dynamic loadable libraries (DLL), located in the 'mex' subdirectory of your
|
||||
Dynare installation.

||||
|
||||
If the DLL are correctly detected by MATLAB (R) or Octave, the following should
