I will await patiently that day ....

Thanks Tom. Even with these colours, it looks much better! How did you do it?

Further to this, could you indicate whether (and if so, how) there is a way to obtain graphs with background colour (as, for example, in EViews)?

Thank you!

Hello. I would like to "prettify" the graphs I obtain using the @dlmirf procedure. The Reference Manual section on the Graph instruction mentions "style sheets" and refers one to the User's Guide, section 3.5. There, one is told to "see the PDF file entitled "RATS Graph...

Tom,
In reply to your query:
Since in most Dynare models, the variables are defined as z(t)=ln(x(t)/xbar), their steady-state values will be zero. The settings indicated in the code are defining those steady-state values.

Thank you very much, Tom. This is an excellent initiative. I have tested it on some other Dynare models and it has worked almost flawlessly. I found a couple of small problems: (1) it does not recognise local parameters identified with a # mark (eg, model(linear); # invh = 1/(1-h); in Dynare disappe...

Thank you, Tom. I should have thought of the Ireland example myself!

Dear Tom, Following up on this, having run it, I conclude that the code you posted seems to provide almost exactly the same IRFs as does the Dynare code for the calibrated model; thank you! A natural next step would be to estimate (some of) the parameters, rather than calibrate everything. This is e...

Thank you, Tom, for your amazingly quick reply. I will look into it immediately.

Dear Tom, You asked about other DSGE models. One which is rather prominent is: Lubik, Thomas A. & Schorfheide, Frank, 2007. "Do central banks respond to exchange rate movements? A structural investigation," Journal of Monetary Economics, vol. 54(4), pages 1069-1087, May 2007 Code exist...
