Thank you for uploading the files. Does it have a particular reason why you calculate conditional welfare based on a simulation instead of calculating the steady state plus the uncertainty correction as described in [https://forum.dynare.org/t/welfare-cost-of-business-cycles/3802/12](https://forum.dynare.org/t/welfare-cost-of-business-cycles/3802/12)? Is it because you are not actually extracting welfare from the Dynare output, but already the welfare gain/loss in consumption equivalents?
