When an endogenous is declared with “var(log)”, say “y”:
– creates an auxiliary named “LOG_y”
– replaces “y(±l)” everywhere by “exp(LOG_y(±l))”
– adds a new auxiliary equation “y=exp(LOG_y)”
– adds a new definition “LOG_y=log(y)” in set_auxiliary_variables.m and
dynamic_set_auxiliary_series.m files
This option also works in conjunction with “deflator=…”, such as “var(log,
deflator=…)” (the “log” must appear befor “deflator”). There are no provisions
for combining “log” with “log_deflator”, because that would not make much sense
from an economic point of view (amounts to taking the log two times).
Ref. dynare#349
For symbol lists (such as those given to “var” or “stoch_simul”), return a
semantic value at the Bison level, rather than building the list through a
temporary object in ParsingDriver. This allows various simplifications, and
leads to a more functional code.
By the way, homogeneize the naming of the various flavours of symbol lists in
the Bison file (with TeX names, partitioning, or with a wildcard).
This option provides the same behaviour as before the change in
60ef6bbdbd.
It is typically useful when doing several estimations in the same .mod file.
There were two bugs:
– with the LF convention, newlines were counted twice
– with the CR+LF convention, they were counted four times (because the CR was
included in yyleng, alongside the LF)
The fix consists in implementing a location_increment() method similar to the
one used for the Dynare parser. This is the most robust solution.
By the way, mark the method DynareFlex::location_increment() method static.
— forbid leads and lags
— forbid expectation operators
This is implemented by moving the occbin_constraints expression to a separate
DataTree. As a side-effect, this removes the spurious non-linearity warning in
a stochastic context (because we were introducing inequalities and abs()
operators in the main DynamicModel tree).
In particular, this implies that steady state values of endogenous in the
“occbin_constraints” block must now be specified using the STEADY_STATE()
operator (and not with a “_ss” suffix).
Moreover:
– make various simplifications to the fields generated under M_
– in the driver file, replace the call to occbin.initialize() by a few explicit operations
Ref. #68
Consequently drop “occbin” option to “model”.
Incidentally, allow more values in equation tag names (previously some keywords
such as “alpha” were disallowed).
Ref. #68
For the time being, the preprocessor will refuse that this option be used with
any command other than estimation.
By the way, remove occbin_likelihood and occbin_smoother options to estimation.

– New “squeeze_shock_decomposition” command
— New “max_nrows” option to “plot_shock_decomposition” and
“initial_condition_decomposition”
— “plot_shock_decomposition” now returns oo_ as an output argument
