Hi!
I download the sw(2007) code from the AER official site.
https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/aer.97.3.586
however.when I run the BVAR_statistics_usmodel_data.m .
it seems not work .I used dynare 4.5.1 and matlab 2015b.
can you help me check it? thanks a lot!smets_wouters_20041254_data.zip (369.6 KB)

What is the error you get? That code was for Dynare 3

thanks for your patience!
first of all, the usmodel.mod file can’t run.
usmodel.mod: line 80, col 14: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting EQUAL
line 80 is #usmodel_stst;
then i delete line 80 ,the usmodel.mod file can work , but when I runs BVAR_statistics_usmodel_data.m
it reports Undefined function ‘eval’ for input
arguments of type ‘cell’.
thanks again for your time~

A version of the usmodel.mod that is compatible with the current Dynare version is at https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE_mod/tree/master/Smets_Wouters_2007
