model_info — Display the block structure of the model
model_info
;
The model_info command provides information about:
the normalization of the model: an endogenous variable is attributed to each equation of the model;
the block structure of the model: for each block model_info indicates its type, the equations number and endogenous variables belonging to this block.
There are five different types of blocks depending on the simulation method used:
EVALUATE FORWARD: in this case the block contains only equations where endogenous variable attributed to the equation appears currently on the left hand side and where no forward looking endogenous variables appear. yj,t = fj(yt, yt-1, ..., yt-k)
EVALUATE BACKWARD: the block contains only equations where endogenous variable attributed to the equation appears currently on the left hand side and where no backward looking endogenous variables appear. yj,t = fj(yt, yt+1, ..., yt+k)
SOLVE FORWARD x
: the block contains only equations where endogenous variable attributed to the equation does not appear currently on the left hand side and where no forward looking endogenous variables appear. gj(yj,t, yt, yt-1, ..., yt-k) =0. x
is equal to SIMPLE if the block has only one equation. If several equation appears in the block, x
is equal to COMPLETE.
SOLVE FORWARD x
: the block contains only equations where endogenous variable attributed to the equation does not appear currently on the left hand side and where no backward looking endogenous variables appear. gj(yj,t, yt, yt+1, ..., yt+k) =0. x
is equal to SIMPLE if the block has only one equation. If several equation appears in the block, x
is equal to COMPLETE.
SOLVE TWO BOUNDARIES x
: the block contains equations depending on both forward and backward variables. gj(yj,t, yt, yt-1, ..., yt-k ,yt, yt+1, ..., yt+k) =0. x
is equal to SIMPLE if the block has only one equation. If several equation appears in the block, x
is equal to COMPLETE.
