Good Evening,

can someone tell me (or have a hint) how to adapt my code below to simulate an anticipated shock under discretionary policy?  
With taylor rule (not implemented here) and commitment / ramsey\_policy I can simply change the anticipation horizon from 0 in epsu to 1 in epsu(-1) for example, but with discretionary\_policy it (obviously) doesn’t work…

Thank you very much in advance.
