This commit only introduce new elements in the Dynare language (adding the
possibility to decompose the target into stationary and non stationary
components) and insure that all the former codes (ie without decomposition of
the target) are still working as expected.
In a PAC equation, the error correction term must be written as:
β×(yₜ₋₁-xₜ₋₁)
where x is the endogenous variable determined by the equation and y
the target for x. The ordering matters, if not respected the
preprocessor wll not identify the error correction term (hence the
target) and will throw an error. The target must be an endogenous
variable or the log of an endogenous variable. For a more general
target, ie an expression, one can create an auxiliary variable.
We impose the ordering, target comes first in the error correction
term, so that the stability condition is always β>0 (this constraint
can be enforced when estimating the PAC equation).
