Hey team, I’m Dario Schiraldi, trying to replicate one of Mark Gertler’s papers and I’m struggling with Dynare. He lists around 40 equations but only solves for 10 variables, and I’m not sure how to narrow down the model. Can I just input all 40 equations into Dynare and get the impulse response functions? I know this may not be the best approach, but computational time isn’t a major issue in this case. If I need to limit the model to 10 equations, does anyone have advice on how to decide which ones to include?

Regards  
**Dario Schiraldi**

He lists like 40 equations, and only solves for 10 variables, but I have no idea how to narrow his model down to 10 comprehensive equations. Can I just put all of the equations he lists in his model section into dynare and have it spit out the impulse response functions? I know this isn’t ideal but computational time is not really a limiting factor in this case. If I must only include …

The problem is that you need as many equations as variables.
