Using the Dynare Preprocessor’s JSON Output: An Example

This repository contains the code for the above-titled blog post on the CEPREMAP Macro Observatory blog.

To build the blog post, simply do the following (after having installed Python, Pelican, and other dependencies):

• git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/houtanb/obsmacro-dynare-json.git
• cd obsmacro-dynare-json && make

To run the code described in the model, do the following:

• git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/houtanb/obsmacro-dynare-json.git
• Download the latest snapshot of dynare for your system. The code below will work with any version of Dynare newer than the version pointed to by the submodule in this repository.
• Open Matlab or Octave and type:
  • addpath <<path to dynare/matlab folder>> where dynare points to the snapshot you downloaded
  • addpath <<path to obsmacro-dynare-json/ols>>
  • cd <<path to obsmacro-dynare-json/afv2013table1/>>
  • dynare afv2013table1.mod
