Matching multiple parameters to target moments

Steady state
2

Dear prof. @jpfeifer , can you confirm that, in order to loop over parameters (for matching moments, finding optimal welfare, etc.),

  1. an external steadystate m file needs to be created (as shown by willi mutschler on youtube and in other posts);
  2. the external steadystate m can give an approximation of the steady states (it does not need to be precise because dynare will estimate the steady states anyways);
  3. after having invoked dynare in the first loop, you need to use [info, oo_, options_, M_] = stoch_simul(M_, options_, oo_, var_list_) in the rest of the loops, as shown for example in Parameter loop in Dynare 5.x - #3 by jpfeifer;
  4. after that, you can retrieve the information needed using M_ and oo_

Sorry for the inconvenience and I thank you in advance!
