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 Dynare 6.0. Users are advised to reference specific branches of this repository tailored to earlier versions of Dynare to ensure compatibility.

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.

Contained Mod-files

Andreasen_2012

Replicates Table 2 in Andreasen (2012): "On the effects of rare disasters and uncertainty shocks for risk premia in non-linear DSGE models", Review of Economic Dynamics, 15, pp. 295-316.

Gali_2010_calib_target.mod

This file was written together with Lahcen Bounader. It implements the baseline sticky wage model of Jordi Galí (2010): Monetary Policy and Unemployment, Handbook of Monetary Economics, Volume 3A, Chapter 10, pp. 487-546. When doing so, it corrects issues with the original calibration of Gali (2010). It demonstrates how in a linearized model a steady_state-file can be used to set the deep parameters of the model to satisfy calibration targets on the non-linear model. The steady_state-file takes the calibration targets and calls a numerical solver on some of the nonlinear steady state equations to get the corresponding parameters that make the steady state satisfy the targets.
