Dear experts,
When I want to include a formerly estimated TFP shock series into a simple deterministic model, using the command ‘shocks(shocks_file=datafile.mat)’,
Matlab reports: (for the ‘shocks’ line)
ERROR: syntax error, unexpected ‘(’, expecting ‘;’
Could you tell me what is the problem with this command? I guess a possible reason is that the shocks_file command is not used in Dynare4 anymore. I do find it in old version Dynare 3.065, but when I run the model in Dynare3, it sitll reports sytax error.
If can not not use the shocks_file option, is there any other method to bring into the model such a external TFP shock serie?
In the newest Dynare User Guide:
4.1.4 Referring to external files
------But you may also be interested in the second possibility described above,
namely of specifying shocks in an external file, to simulate a model based on
shocks from a prior estimation, for instance. …Finally, you could simulate a deterministic model with the shocks saved from
the estimation by specifying the source file for the shocks, using the
shocks(shocks file = datafile.mat) command.
Some one has asked this question before, but seems no answers…
the similar question’s link:
[Shocks_file)
This is another quesion and answer, but it can not help with my Error report when running, by the way, its attached file is not downloadbale?
Thank you so much!
