Stochastic simulations exercise

[bieser]

I am little confused with the options of the stoch_simul command. I would like to run 1000 simulations over a 100 quarter horizon. From what I understand, this corresponds to:
simul_replic=1000 and periods=100

Is that correct?

Hi, Yes this is correct. This will generate a binary file (<MOD_FILE_NAME>_simul) where all the simulations are stored.

Best,
Stéphane.

I’m having trouble using the output of stoch_simul with option simul_replic enabled. When I run rbc.mod (attached below) it does generate a file RBC_simul, which according to the manual is meant to be in binary form (which in other places in the manual indicates a .mat file). But when I then try loading it via: load -mat rbc_simul I get the following error: Error using load Unable to read MAT-file C:\mydirectory\RBC_simul. Not a binary MAT-file. Try LOAD -ASCII to read as text. Without …
