Hi everyone,

I was wondering if is possible to run a Dynare model with several options since I’m running it from a script, for example, in the command window would be `dynare ModelName option1 option2 option3`, but into a m-file gives me an error if I try `dynare(ModelName,'option1 option2 option3')`.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean with options? You can use macroprocessor switches. See e.g. [DSGE\_mod/run\_welfare\_comparison\_efficient\_steady\_state.m at master · JohannesPfeifer/DSGE\_mod · GitHub](https://github.com/JohannesPfeifer/DSGE_mod/blob/master/Born_Pfeifer_2018/Welfare/run_welfare_comparison_efficient_steady_state.m)
