Placing dates on the horizontal axis of shock decomposition

Estimation ML/Bayesian estimation
1

I want to put quarterly dates starting in 2002Q1 on horizontal axis of graphs of my shock decompositions?
How could I do this?

Try the dseries object. An example is at tests/dates/fs2000.mod · master · Dynare / dynare · GitLab, with the data being at tests/dates/fsdat_simul.m · master · Dynare / dynare · GitLab.

Dear jpfeifer,
I im getting this message error:

[code]Error using -

Are you using Dynare 4.5?

Yes dear jpfeifer, I am using Dynare 4.5.0 in Matlab 2015a.

Please, how could I fix this?

Thanks

That is strange, because I am getting

[quote]Error using print_info (line 110)
Likelihood is not a number (NaN) or a complex number

Error in print_info (line 110)
error(‘Likelihood is not a number (NaN) or a complex number’);

Error in initial_estimation_checks (line 175)
print_info(info, DynareOptions.noprint, DynareOptions)

Error in dynare_estimation_1 (line 165)
oo_ =

Error in prometheo (line 2899)

Error in dynare (line 223)

which happens in a different line, suggesting that you were using a different mod-file than the one you provided.

Hi Aldo ; can you tell me how you fix this problem?

I solved it modifying plot_shock_decomposition.m.

In line 82 I replaced

initial_date = dates('1Y');

with

initial_date = dates('2002Q1');

Thanks for your answer

But i can’t open your file(.rar) …can you send your .mod dynare code?

The .rar is not necessary.

plot_shock_decomposition.m is in C:\dynare\4.5.7\matlab
