Mh_mode and moments_varendo output

Estimation
1

Hi, I have a couple of small issues I’m wondering if you can help with. I’m using Dynare 6.2.

  1. When I compute a mode file, it is saved as [modfilename]_mode.mat in the Output subfolder of the folder [modfilename]. When I then use mode_file=[modfilename]_mode to do Bayesian estimation, Dynare can’t find the mode file. I have to go into the output folder, copy the file into the directory where the .mod file is. Yet it has no trouble finding the m-h replications when I use load_mh_file, which are in that same program folder (subfolder metropolis). Is there some path setting I should be using, or do I have to put the whole path into the mode_file option?
  2. The documentation for moments_varendo says that the output is stored in oo_.PosteriorTheoreticalMoments.dsge.THEORETICAL_MOMENT.ESTIMATED_OBJECT.
    ˓→MOMENT_NAME.VARIABLE_NAME. I can’t find these files anywhere. I’ve looked in the oo_ structure that has everything else, but don’t see anything related to PosteriorTheoreticalMoments.

Thanks for your help.
