Hi everybody,

let's rename them: new command prior_analysis: option REPLIC sets options_.prior_replic command stoch_simul: option IRF_REPLIC sets options_.irf_replic option REPLIC sets simul_replic

Cheers

Hi all,

We have a problem with options_.replic which is used for three different purposes (number of prior simulations, irfs with a second order approximation and repeated stochastic simulations).

In global_initialization.m this variable is defined twice! We have:

• options_.replic =1 for prior simulations (?) , and after
• options_.replic = 50 for irfs with a second order approximation

... So that the default value is 50.

When the user asks for a stochastic simulation with a second order approximation, dynare simulates 50 times the model and displays the results associated to the last simulated time series.

Shouldn't we create new fields in options_ ? If so, how should I call them (for the prior sampler and for the repeated stochastic simulations) ? Something will have to be fixed also in the preprocessor.

Best, Stéphane.
