There was a conflict between matlab/+var_expectation/update.m and
matlab/+var_expectation/+update/. So we renamed the (single) file in the latter
directory.
Extracts equations from a mod file and produce .inc files (equations, lists of
parameters, endogenous variables and exogenous variables) that can be included
in a mod file that will be used to simulate the model.
If an innovation has a tag `(used='estimationonly')` it will be excluded from
the generated files (ie list of shocks and equations).
See tests/var-expectations/9/example.mod for a self documented example.
Also updated all the integration tests using the option `expression` instead of
`variable` (which is deprecated and will be removed at some point).
Each new routine pac.print() and var_expectation.print(), creates two files
that can be included (using the macro language) in a mod file. The first
file, {pac,var}expectationmodename-parameters.inc saved under
{M_.fname}/model/{pac,var}expectationmodel, contains the declaration of the
parameters created for the expanded (var or pac) expectation model, with
calibrated values. The second file, {pac,var}expectationmodename-parameters.inc
saved in the same subfolder, contains the expanded version of the (pac or var)
expectation term as a linear combination of the variables in the companion
representation of the expectatino model.
Not yet working, a bug in the preprocessor remains to be fixed. The
preprocessor does not create the correct number of reduced form parameters
for VAR_EXPECTATION when the auxiliary model is a trend component model,
because it ignores the fact that the model has to be rewritten in levels.
