% [zdatalinear zdatapiecewise zdatass oo 00 M 00] = solve two constraints(modnam 00,modnam 10,modnam 01,modnam 11,... constraint1, constraint2,... constraint relax1, constraint relax2,... shockssequence,irfshock,nperiods,curb retrench,maxiter,init); % % Inputs: % modnam 00: name of the .mod file for reference regime (excludes the .mod extension). modnam10: name of the .mod file for the alternative regime governed by the first % constraint. % modnam01: name of the .mod file for the alternative regime governed by the second constraint. % modnam 11: name of the .mod file for the case in which both constraints force a switch to their alternative regimes. % constraint1: the first constraint (see notes 1 and 2 below). If constraint1 evaluates to true, then the solution switches to the alternative regime for condition 1. In thatcase, if constraint2 (described below) evaluates to false, then the model solution switches to enforcing the conditions for an equilibrium in modnam 10. Otherwise, if constraint2 also evaluates to true, then the model solution switches to enforcing the conditions for an equilibrium in modnam 11. % constraint relax1: when the condition in constraint relax1 evaluates to true, the solution returns to the reference regime for constraint1. % constraint2: the second constraint (see notes 1 and 2 below). constraint relax2: when the condition in constraint relax2 evaluates to true, the % solution returns to the reference regime for constraint2. shockssequence: a sequence of unforeseen shocks under which one wants to solve the % model % irfshock: label for innovation for IRFs, from Dynare .mod file (one or more of the ?varexo?) % nperiods: simulation horizon (can be longer than the sequence of shocks defined in shockssequence; must be long enough to ensure convergence back to the reference model at the end of the simulation horizon and may need to be varied depending on the sequence of shocks). % curb retrench: a scalar equal to 0 or 1. Default is 0. When set to 0, it updates the guess based of regimes based on the previous iteration. When set to 1, it updates in a manner similar to a Gauss-Jacobi scheme, slowing the iterations down by updating the guess of regimes only one period at a time. % maxiter: maximum number of iterations allowed for the solution algorithm (20 if not specified). % init: the initial position for the vector of state variables, in deviation from steady state (if not specified, the default is a vector of zero implying that the initial conditions coincide with the steady state). The ordering follows the definition order in the .mod files. % % Outputs: % zdatalinear: an array containing paths for all endogenous variables ignoring the occasionally binding constraint (the linear solution), in deviation from steady state. Each column is a variable, the order is the definition order in the .mod files. % zdatapiecewise: an array containing paths for all endogenous variables satisfying the occasionally binding constraint (the occbin/piecewise solution), in deviation from steady state. Each column is a variable, the order is the definition order in the .mod files. % zdatass: a vector that holds the steady state values of the endogenous variables ( following the definition order in the .mod file). % oo00 , M00 : structures produced by Dynare for the reference model ? see Dynare User Guide. % Log of changes % 6/17/2013 -- Luca added a trailing underscore to local variables in an % attempt to avoid conflicts with parameter names defined in the .mod files % to be processed. % 6/17/2013 -- Luca replaced external .m file setss.m function [ zdatalinear_, zdatapiecewise_, zdatass_, oo00_ , M00_ ] = ... solve_two_constraints(modnam_00_,modnam_10_,modnam_01_,modnam_11_,... constrain1_, constrain2_,... constraint_relax1_, constraint_relax2_,... shockssequence_,irfshock_,nperiods_,curb_retrench_,maxiter_,init_) global M_ oo_ % solve model eval(['dynare ',modnam_00_,' noclearall nolog']) oo00_ = oo_; M00_ = M_; for i=1:M00_.endo_nbr eval([M00_.endo_names{i} '_ss = oo00_.dr.ys(i); ']); end for i_indx_ = 1:M00_.param_nbr eval([M00_.param_names{i_indx_},'= M00_.params(i_indx_);']); end eval(['dynare ',modnam_10_,' noclearall']) oo10_ = oo_; M10_ = M_; eval(['dynare ',modnam_01_,' noclearall']) oo01_ = oo_; M01_ = M_; eval(['dynare ',modnam_11_,' noclearall']) oo11_ = oo_; M11_ = M_; % do some error checking % check inputs if ~strcmp(M00_.endo_names,M10_.endo_names) error([modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_10_,' need to have exactly the same endogenous variables and they need to be declared in the same order']) end if ~strcmp(M00_.exo_names,M10_.exo_names) error([modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_10_,' need to have exactly the same exogenous variables and they need to be declared in the same order']) end if ~strcmp(M00_.param_names,M10_.param_names) warning(['The parameter list does not match across the files ',modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_10_]) end if ~strcmp(M00_.endo_names,M01_.endo_names) error([modnam_00,' and ',modnam_01_,' need to have exactly the same endogenous variables and they need to be declared in the same order']) end if ~strcmp(M00_.exo_names,M01_.exo_names) error([modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_01_,' need to have exactly the same exogenous variables and they need to be declared in the same order']) end if ~strcmp(M00_.param_names,M01_.param_names) warning(['The parameter list does not match across the files ',modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_01_]) end if ~strcmp(M00_.endo_names,M11_.endo_names) error([modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_11_,' need to have exactly the same endogenous variables and they need to be declared in the same order']) end if ~strcmp(M00_.exo_names,M11_.exo_names) error([modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_11_,' need to have exactly the same exogenous variables and they need to be declared in the same order']) end if ~strcmp(M00_.param_names,M11_.param_names) warning(['The parameter list does not match across the files ',modnam_00_,' and ',modnam_11_]) end nvars_ = M00_.endo_nbr; zdatass_ = oo00_.dr.ys; [hm1_,h_,hl1_,Jbarmat_] = get_deriv(M00_,zdatass_); cof_ = [hm1_,h_,hl1_]; M10_.params = M00_.params; [hm1_,h_,hl1_,Jbarmat10_,resid_] = get_deriv(M10_,zdatass_); cof10_ = [hm1_,h_,hl1_]; Dbarmat10_ = resid_; M01_.params = M00_.params; [hm1_,h_,hl1_,Jbarmat01_,resid_] = get_deriv(M01_,zdatass_); cof01_ = [hm1_,h_,hl1_]; Dbarmat01_ = resid_; M11_.params = M00_.params; [hm1_,h_,hl1_,Jbarmat11_,resid_] = get_deriv(M11_,zdatass_); cof11_ = [hm1_,h_,hl1_]; Dbarmat11_ = resid_; if isfield(M00_,'nfwrd') % needed for bakward compatibility with older Dynare releases [decrulea,decruleb]=get_pq(oo00_.dr,M00_.nstatic,M00_.nfwrd); else [decrulea,decruleb]=get_pq(oo00_.dr,oo00_.dr.nstatic,oo00_.dr.nfwrd); end endog_ = M00_.endo_names; exog_ = M00_.exo_names; % processes the constrain so as to uppend a suffix to each % endogenous variables constraint1_difference_ = process_constraint(constrain1_,'_difference',M00_.endo_names,0); % when the last argument in process_constraint is set to 1, the % direction of the inequality in the constraint is inverted constraint_relax1_difference_ = process_constraint(constraint_relax1_,'_difference',M00_.endo_names,0); % processes the constrain so as to uppend a suffix to each % endogenous variables constraint2_difference_ = process_constraint(constrain2_,'_difference',M00_.endo_names,0); % when the last argument in process_constraint is set to 1, the % direction of the inequality in the constraint is inverted constraint_relax2_difference_ = process_constraint(constraint_relax2_,'_difference',M00_.endo_names,0); nshocks = size(shockssequence_,1); if ~exist('init_') init_ = zeros(nvars_,1); end if ~exist('maxiter_') maxiter_ = 20; end if ~exist('curb_retrench_') curb_retrench_ = 0; end init_orig_ = init_; zdatapiecewise_ = zeros(nperiods_,nvars_); violvecbool_ = zeros(nperiods_+1,2); % This sets the first guess for when % the constraints are going to hold. % The variable is a boolean with two % columns.
