function time_series = extended_path(initial_conditions,sample_size,init)
% Stochastic simulation of a non linear DSGE model using the Extended Path method (Fair and Taylor 1983). A time
% series of size T is obtained by solving T perfect foresight models.
%
% INPUTS
% o initial_conditions [double] m*nlags array, where m is the number of endogenous variables in the model and
% nlags is the maximum number of lags.
% o sample_size [integer] scalar, size of the sample to be simulated.
% o init [integer] scalar, method of initialization of the perfect foresight equilibrium paths
% init=0 previous solution is used,
% init=1 a path generated with the first order reduced form is used.
% init=2 mix of cases 0 and 1.
%
% OUTPUTS
% o time_series [double] m*sample_size array, the simulations.
