Provided that matrix % R₁₁ is square and full rank (a necessary condition is that the % number of free endogenous variables matches the number of free innovations), % given y₁ₜ, ε₂ₜ and yₜ₋₁ the first block of equations can be solved for ε₁ₜ: % % ε₁ₜ = R₁₁ \ ( y₁ₜ - T₁₁y₁ₜ₋₁ - T₁₂y₂ₜ₋₁ - R₁₂ε₂ₜ ) % % and y₂ₜ can be updated by evaluating the second block of equations: % % y₂ₜ = T₂₁y₁ₜ₋₁ + T₂₂y₂ₜ₋₁ + R₂₁ε₁ₜ + R₂₂ε₂ₜ % % By iterating over these two blocks of equations, we can build a forecast for % all the endogenous variables in the system conditional on paths for a subset of the % endogenous variables. This exercise is replicated by drawing different % sequences of free innovations. The result is a predictive distribution for % the uncontrolled endogenous variables, y₂ₜ, that Dynare will use to report % confidence bands around the point conditional forecast. % is used for forecasting % Copyright © 2006-2022 Dynare Team % % This file is part of Dynare. % % Dynare 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. % % Dynare 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.
