Timing notation about variables

General DSGE Modeling

Hi everyone,

In dynare, we write a(+1) as forward-looking variable if a is an endogenous variable. However, in my code, there was a typo. I wrote a(1). But the code still could run. I am curious if dynare treat a(1) and a(+1) the same.

Thank you,
Alex

Yes, the two are identical.
