About:
Dynare is a software platform designed for solving and analyzing dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. It provides a high-level programming language for model specification, along with tools for simulation, estimation, and forecasting. The platform is widely used by central banks and economic research institutions for macroeconomic analysis and policy advice.
Key Features:
  • Specialized language for concise model specification
  • Automated generation of first-order and higher-order perturbation solutions
  • Built-in tools for Bayesian and frequentist estimation
  • Advanced post-processing and visualization capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Developing and solving macroeconomic models for academic research
  • Conducting monetary and fiscal policy analysis at central banks
  • Teaching advanced macroeconomics at the graduate level
Alternatives:
  • GAMSTAN – GAMSTAN is a library for general equilibrium modeling, but Dynare offers a more integrated and user-friendly environment specifically for DSGE models.
  • IRIS Toolbox – IRIS is a MATLAB-based toolbox for macroeconomic modeling, similar to Dynare but primarily commercial and tied to the MATLAB ecosystem.
