Hi everyone.
I would like to learn about the difference between M_.fname
and M_.dname
, they seem to be the same, but I am wondering if there is some deeper explanation regarding not they being one variable.
Thanks.

M_.fname
is the name of the mod-file, which is used in naming many of the Dynare output files. M_.dname
is the directory name that Dynare uses to store the results. You can set it with the dirname
option of various commands, which allows you to have several instances of e.g. the estimation
command in the same mod-file without them overwriting previous results.
