How to Use Dynare with MATLAB
Dynare is a package that runs with MATLAB to solve, simulate and estimate macroeconomic models. It is a powerful and highly customizable engine, with an intuitive front-end interface, to solve, simulate and estimate Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models.
Dynare version 3 and Dynare version 4 have been built to work with MATLAB R2008a. Dynare version 3 is stable. Dynare version 4 is a development release, designed to be much faster than version 3, and having important new features. It is provided on an as-is basis. New version 4 snapshot releases will be installed upon request, as resources permit.
