_steadystate file in dynare_v4

Dynare v4 (legacy)
1

Hi,

this must have been asked already but I can’t find it.

Is the _steadystate file treated differently in dynare_v4?

I’ve run my old .mod files (cum _steadystate companion file) and dynare complains about the accuracy of the steady state.

Where can I read about the use of steadystate files in version 4?

Thanks,

Gianni

Hi,

Let me reply to my own message.

The steadystate file problems were due to a change in notation in Dynare 4 (e.g. lgy is now defunct).

Also I used to place the parameter values in a script file called from within the .mod file. Dynare 4 does not like this (or at least does not read it before assignin M_.params).
