DSGE_mod

A collection of Dynare models. It aims at demonstrating Dynare best practices and providing tractable replication files for important models that can be useful for further model development.

Replicability Issues

The headers of the respective mod-files also note obvious mistakes and typos in the respective papers.

Compatibility

These mod-files have been tested against the current unstable version, to be released as Dynare 4.5. Compatibility with earlier versions is not guaranteed.

Contributing your own mod-files

Contributions of replication files to this collection are highly welcomed. When doing do, e.g. through pull requests, please clearly line out which results of the original paper are replicated so that correctness can be verified.

This mod-file shows how to access steady state variables in order to plot steady state dependences on parameters. It also shows how to manually do a stability mapping be iterating over a grid on the parameter space.

Aguiar_Gopinath_2007.mod

Replicates Aguiar, Mark and Gopinath, Gita (2007): "Emerging Market Business Cycles: The Cycle is the Trend", Journal of Political Economy, 115(1), pp. 69-102.

This mod-file shows how to deal with trend growth and how to recover the non-stationary variables from the detrended model variables.

Born_Pfeifer_2014.mod

Replicates Benjamin Born and Johannes Pfeifer (2014): "Risk Matters: A comment", American Economic Review, 104(12), pp. 4231-4239.

Solow_model

Various mod-files related to the basic Solow-Swan model, using Dynare's perfect foresight routines to study steady state transitions when e.g. parameters change

Solow_SS_transition.mod

Studies the transition behavior of a simple Solow-Swan economy with Cobb-Douglas production function to its steady state when started with a capital stock different from steady state.

Solow_growth_rate_changes.mod

Studies the transition behavior of a simple Solow-Swan economy with Cobb-Douglas production function after unanticipated for changes in technology or population growth.

Solow_nonstationary.mod

Studies the transition behavior of a simple Solow-Swan economy with Cobb-Douglas production function to its balanced growth path (BGP). The Solow model is solved here in aggregate, i.e. non-detrended form along its balanced growth path. For that purpose, trending labor-augmenting technology and population processes are defined.
