Dynare help (legacy posts)

hello,
i downloaded dynare_v3 for matlab (windows). My matlab version is 7.0. i set the matlab path to c:\dynare_v3\examples, and then run dynare example1. But i can only get three intermediate files example1.m example1_ff.m and example_fff.m. Just want to ask why i can not get the final .mat data file and journal file. Thanks.

Dear Lucy,

you have downloaded version 3 for Matlab but have read the instruction for Dynare++…
There is no example1.mat and example1.jnl with the Matlab version.

The results are displayed on the screen and in example1.log

Kind regards

Michel

Dear Proffessor,
Thanks very much.
one more question regarding dynare running.
By running .mod file, i got three intermediary files. and then i ran .m file in matlab. but i couldnot get the result. Here is the error information.
run(‘C:\dynare\examples\example1.m’)
??? Error using ==> run
Error: File: c:\dynare\examples\example1_fff.m Line: 2 Column: 13
Missing variable or function.
Regards,
Lucy

Under normal utilization of DYNARE, you shouldn’t run the *.m files. Just do the following at the Matlab prompt

cd c:\dynare\examples
dynare example1

Teh output is then displayed on the screen and saved in
example1.log

Kind regards

Hello,

I am trying to run my *.mod code where I described a huge DSGE model. Unfortunatelly I obtain no result, but the error message:

syntax error in line 60.

The line 60 is the last line of the section where the parameters are assigned values. What cought it be?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you forgot the semicolon";" on line 59.

If not, please post the *.mod file

Alrigth. My last parameter was “varphi”. It conflicted with dynare command “var”. After I changed “varphi” to “warphi” the problem disappeared.

Hi I download dynare_v3 and try to run example1.mod
I set the path: C: matlab6p5/work/dynare/examples
and then on the matlab command file I type:

dynare example1.mod

I receive the answer that follows:

??? dynare example1.mod
|
Error: Missing operator, comma, or semicolon.

Can you tell me where I’m wrong? I try also tipying:
dynare_v3 example1.mod

It looks like a problem with an old Matlab version. Look at the FAQ entry on running Dynare with Matlab 6.1
