Economics Resources

This page includes links to the other resource pages I have done and that are in development. 

Additionally, I have researchers in mind and also made this as a resource for me to easily find people and sites  I like to use often.

My Dynare Code Project​

​

I am developing a collection of basic economic models in Dynare.  You must have MATLAB and Dynare installed to run these.  I'll slowly add additional documentation in Word or PDF too. ** This is a bit on hold but I plan to return to this in 2022!

Deterministic Solow-Swan Model Examples

I have a temporary and permanent shock to depreciation, technology-productivity, and to the marginal propensity to consume.

In each case I wrote a simple master code in Matlab (.m files)  that calls and runs two pieces of Dynare code (.mod files) and then graphs the output in one graph. So download all three files, save them in the same folder and then run the Master file.

• Shock to depreciation

  • Matlab code:​  Master_Solow_Delta.m

  • Dynare code:  solow_perm_delta.mod and  solow_temp_delta.mod

  • Output graphs: SolowPermTempDelta.png

• Shock to technology-productivity

  • Matlab code:​  Master_Solow_Tech.m

  • Dynare code:  solow_perm_tech.mod and solow_temp_tech.mod 

  • Output graphs: SolowTechShocks.png

• Shock to marginal propensity to consume

  • Matlab code:​ Master_Solow_MPS.m

  • Dynare code perm shock: solow_perm_mps.mod and solow_temp_mps.mod

  • Output graphs:  SolowMPSShocks.png
