LECTURE NOTES

SOME DERIVATIONS

PROGRAMS: SOLVING MODELS

******

I use Paul Klein’s approach to solve linear rational expectation models. To implement Paul Klein’s method, and to run the following programs written by me, you need 3 MATLAB m files: solab.m; qzswitch.m; and qzdiv.m. These MATLAB m files are available from Paul Klein’s website. The 2 MATLAB m files, qzswitch.m and qzdiv.m, are originally written by C. Sims.

 

 

PROGRAMS: ESTIMATING MODELS

******

I use the minimization program written by C. Sims to maximize the likelihood function. This wonderful program, csminwel.m, is available from C. Sims’ website. I have adjusted Paul Klein’s solabHO.m program to facilitate the numerical process.

A Sample Program

Data and Programs

PS: Here the likelihood function follows the formulation of Anderson et al. (1996). Please consult Lecture 4 for details.
