Dynare.jl, an alternative implementation of Dynare in Julia, is now ready for testing by users.

The following features are implemented:

  • steady state;
  • local approximation of the solution at 1st and 2nd order;
  • perfect foresight simulations;
  • forecasting;
  • optimal policy.

Julia is an open source programming language. It is recommended to use it with VScode. See also Julia in Visual Studio code.

Documentation is available at: https://DynareJulia.github.io/Dynare.jl.
