#83: persistent variables must be cleared at the beginning of a Dynare run --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: michel | Owner: michel Type: bug | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Core M-files | Version: 4.1.0 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- persistent variables in *.m files trigger hard to understand errors if the user run successively two different *.mod files with 'noclearall' option. Whenever a function uses persistent variables, there should be an explicit initialize option and not rely on empty persistent variables as, for example, priordens.m currently does. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/83> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

[Trac] #184: Auxiliary variables for leads.

#184: Auxiliary variables for leads. --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: stepan | Owner: houtanb Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: 4.3 Component: Preprocessor | Version: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- The last loop in add_auxiliary_variables is highly inefficient. The the residuals of the static model are evaluated (many times) to compute the the steady state levels of the auxiliary variables. But in the preprocessing stage, the expressions of the auxiliary variables (in terms of the endogenous variables) are known. The preprocessor should write a routine defining the auxiliary variables as a function of the endogenous variables. Depending on the current options, this routine may be a matlab function, a mex or bytecode. With such a function we won't need to infer the steady state of the auxiliaries from the residuals of the static model... -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/184> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

Some harmless warnings should probably be filtered out. -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/181> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project
