## 8 Examples

Dynare comes with a database of example `.mod` files, which are designed to show a broad range of Dynare features, and are taken from academic papers for most of them. You should have these files in the `examples` subdirectory of your distribution.

Here is a short list of the examples included. For a more complete description, please refer to the comments inside the files themselves.

`ramst.mod`

  An elementary real business cycle (RBC) model, simulated in a deterministic setup.

`example1.mod`
`example2.mod`

  Two examples of a small RBC model in a stochastic setup, presented in Collard (2001) (see the file `guide.pdf` which comes with Dynare).

`example3.mod`

  A small RBC model in a stochastic setup, presented in Collard (2001). The steady state is solved analytically using the `steady_state_model` block (see steady_state_model).

`fs2000.mod`

  A cash in advance model, estimated by Schorfheide (2000). The file shows how to use Dynare for estimation.

`fs2000_nonstationary.mod`

  The same model than `fs2000.mod`, but written in non-stationary form. Detrending of the equations is done by Dynare.

`bkk.mod`

  Multi-country RBC model with time to build, presented in Backus, Kehoe and Kydland (1992). The file shows how to use Dynare’s macro-processor.

`agtrend.mod`

  Small open economy RBC model with shocks to the growth trend, presented in Aguiar and Gopinath (2004).

`NK_baseline.mod`

  Baseline New Keynesian Model estimated in Fernández-Villaverde (2010). It demonstrates how to use an explicit steady state file to update parameters and call a numerical solver.
