Dear all,

My question is regarding the unconditional variance decomposition post estimation. In the command window, dynare reports the following table:

VARIANCE DECOMPOSITION (in percent)

I am unsure as to whether I should use the values reported here or those reported in oo\_.PosteriorTheoreticalMoments.dsge.VarianceDecomposition.hpdinf.\<NAME\_OF\_THE\_ENDOGENOUS\_VARIABLE\>.\<NAME\_OF\_THE\_EXOGENOUS\_VARIABLE\>. They are wildly different. Any help on the matter would be really appreciated.

Thanks
