Nolog + empirical moments + plots in Dynare for Julia

Dear all,

I am trying “Dynare for Julia” on a basic rbc model (available on this page: Solving a simple RBC model in Dynare | Julien Pascal). The test was carried out on a MacBook Pro with chip “Apple M1” with macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. In order to run the program I used VSCode. I noticed what follows:

  1. the command c = @dynare “rbc.mod” “nolog”; still outputs the log file;

  2. the command stoch_simul(ordr = 1, irf = 0, periods = 1000); provides the theoretical moments instead of the empirical ones (in addition to this, the simulated variables show slightly different numbers than their Matlab’s counterpart - Dynare 6.2);

  3. Plots are relatively weird

I would like to kindly know from you whether this behaviour depends on my “low” skills on “Dynare for Julia” or whether they depend on the Dynare itself.

Thanks in advance for you help!

DynareJulia doesn’t aim to replicate exactly Dynare in Matlab/Octave

  1. nolog is not supported in DynareJulia. The documentation should be corrected
  2. Empirical moments will be added later. Note that every stochastic simulations are a little bit different
  3. What is weird in the plots?

Thanks a lot for your answers!

Regarding the “weird” plots, as you see the “title of the plot” and the “plots” are separated by a large spaces. Apart from this, the plots are ok!

I know the effort you are putting in Dynare for Julia and I just wanted to know if these “problems” are regarding my specific PC or Dynare for Julia in general. You cleared my doubts.

Thank you a lot!
