dynare for Mac

Dynare is a software platform for economic model analysis, particularly well suited to dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. In macroeconomic research, such models tend to have complex structures and many equations, so manual derivation and solution are both time-consuming and error-prone. Dynare helps researchers write models in a form close to the equations found in papers, then automatically handles computation such as solving, simulation, and estimation, allowing attention to return to the economic meaning itself. It is used mainly through the command line and is suitable for economics graduate students, researchers in macroeconomics, and analysts who need to do policy analysis or model calibration. If you are writing a macroeconomics paper, conducting policy simulations, or need to repeatedly compare results under different model specifications, Dynare can save a great deal of the trouble of low-level programming.
