/* * This file replicates the model studied in: * Lawrence J. Christiano, Roberto Motto and Massimo Rostagno (2007): * "Notes on Ramsey-Optimal Monetary Policy", Section 2 * The paper is available at http://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/~lchrist/d16/d1606/ramsey.pdf * * Notes: * - This mod-files allows to simulate a simple New Keynesian Model with Rotemberg price * adjustment costs under fully optimal monetary under commitment (Ramsey) * * - This files shows how to use a user-defined conditional steady state file in the Ramsey case. It takes * the value of the defined instrument R as given and then computes the rest of the steady * state, including the steady state inflation rate, based on this value. The initial value * of the instrument for steady state search must then be defined in an initval-block. * * This implementation was written by Johannes Pfeifer. * * If you spot mistakes, email me at jpfeifer@gmx.de * * Please note that the following copyright notice only applies to this Dynare * implementation of the model. */ /* * Copyright © 2019-2022 Dynare Team * * This is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. * * It is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
