# 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).

`Gali_2015.mod`

> Basic New Keynesian model of Galí (2015), Chapter 3 showing how to i) use “system prior”-type prior restrictions as in Andrle and Plašil (2018) and ii) run prior/posterior-functions.

`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.

`Occbin_example.mod`

> RBC model with two occasionally binding constraints. Demonstrates how to set up Occbin.

`Ramsey_Example.mod`

> File demonstrating how to conduct optimal policy experiments in a simple New Keynesian model either under commitment (Ramsey) or using optimal simple rules (OSR)

`Ramsey_steady_file.mod`

> File demonstrating how to conduct optimal policy experiments in a simple New Keynesian model under commitment (Ramsey) with a user-defined conditional steady state file
