Rank check
by Johannes Pfeifer 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hi all, sorry for bothering you again with this issue, but I still think it is extremely unfortunate to base the printout of errors and the display of check on different criteria. This results in user problems like: http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1 <http://www.dynare.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4049> &t=4049 In this post, there is rank deficiency, which is correctly detected by Dynare, but the output of check does not state this. If I remember correctly, some time ago Michel argued that this behavior is desired, but I cant remember the argument. I personally find this behavior confusing and would suggest to open a ticket making the behavior consistent.

[Trac] #278: Improve documentation of conditional_variance_decomposition and moments
by Trac Dynare 07 Sep '12

#278: Improve documentation of conditional_variance_decomposition and moments -------------------------+----------------- Reporter: jpfeifer | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+----------------- 1. The option conditional_variance_decomposition in stoch_simul only triggers the decomposition, if theoretical moments are requested, i.e. periods=0. We should add a warning in the code and in the manual 2. Even if one specifies order=2 (with periods=0), Dynare still outputs a variance_decomposition, but the decomposition is based on the first order state-space system. We should add a warning for all second order moments as the same is true for variance, correlations, and autocorrelations -- Ticket URL: <https://www.dynare.org/trac/ticket/278> Dynare <http://www.dynare.org> The Dynare project

conditional_variance_decomposition
by Johannes Pfeifer 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Dear all, I have two issues with conditional_variance_decomposition. 1. The option conditional_variance_decomposition in stoch_simul only triggers the decomposition, if theoretical moments are requested, i.e. periods=0. I guess this makes sense as the decomposition is based on the state-space form, which is a theoretical concept. However, we never provide a warning that no variance decomposition will be performed nor do we document the requirement in the manual. 2. Even if one specifies order=2 (with periods=0), Dynare still outputs a variance_decomposition. If I understand it correctly, I am not sure this is a good idea as the decomposition is based on the first order state-space system. We should either shut off this feature for order=2 or at least provide an explicit warning that the decomposition is only for first order although a higher order approximation was used.
