Chapter 5. 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.
