@*2 Dynamic model abstraction. Start of {\tt dynamic\_model.h} file.
This file only defines a generic interface to an SDGE model. The model
takes the form:
$$E_t\left[f(g^{**}(g^*(y,u_t),u_{t+1}),g(y,u),y,u_t)\right]=0$$
The interface is defined via pure virtual class |DynamicModel|.

@ This is the interface to an information on a generic SDGE
model. It is sufficient for calculations of policy rule Taylor
approximations at some (not necessarily deterministic) steady state.
We need to know a partitioning of endogenous variables $y$. We suppose
that $y$ is partitioned as
$$y=\left[\matrix{\hbox{static}\cr\hbox{pred}\cr\hbox{both}\cr\hbox{forward}}\right]$$
of which we define
$$y^*=\left[\matrix{\hbox{pred}\cr\hbox{both}}\right]\quad
y^{**}=\left[\matrix{\hbox{both}\cr\hbox{forward}}\right]$$
where ``static'' are meant those variables, which appear only at time
$t$; ``pred'' are meant those variables, which appear only at $t$ and
$t-1$; ``both'' are meant those variables, which appear at least at
$t-1$ and $t+1$; and ``forward'' are meant those variables, which
appear only at $t$ and $t+1$. This partitioning is given by methods
|nstat()|, |npred()|, |nboth()|, and |nforw()|. The number of
equations |numeq()| must be the same as a number of endogenous
variables.
In order to complete description, we need to know a number of
exogenous variables, which is a size of $u$, hence |nexog()| method.
The model contains an information about names of variables, the
variance-covariance matrix of the shocks, the derivatives of equations
of $f$ at some steady state, and the steady state. These can be
retrieved by the corresponding methods.
The derivatives of the system are calculated with respect to stacked
variables, the stack looks as:
$$\left[\matrix{y^{**}_{t+1}\cr y_t\cr y^*_{t-1}\cr u_t}\right].$$
There are only three operations. The first
|solveDeterministicSteady()| solves the deterministic steady steate
which can be retrieved by |getSteady()| later. The method
|evaluateSystem| calculates $f(y^{**},y,y^*,u)$, where $y$ and $u$ are
passed, or $f(y^{**}_{t+1}, y_t, y^*_{t-1}, u)$, where $y^{**}_{t+1}$,
$y_t$, $y^*_{t-1}$, $u$ are passed. Finally, the method
|calcDerivativesAtSteady()| calculates derivatives of $f$ at the
current steady state, and zero shocks. The derivatives can be
retrieved with |getModelDerivatives()|. All the derivatives are done
up to a given order in the model, which can be retrieved by |order()|.
The model initialization is done in a constructor of the implementing
class. The constructor usually calls a parser, which parses a given
file (usually a text file), and retrieves all necessary information
about the model, inluding variables, partitioning, variance-covariance
matrix, information helpful for calculation of the deterministic
steady state, and so on.
