MatLab/Octave Scripts
This section contains links to some of my MatLab/Octave scripts (for economics and finance).
- Programs for "Solution and Estimation of
RE Macromodels with Optimal Policy,"
European Economic Review, 43, 813-823, 1999.
Updated versions (July 2007) of
some of the routines (significant speed increase).
- Programs for "Solution of Macromodels
with Hansen-Sargent Robust Policies: Some Extensions,"
Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 28, 2367-2397, 2004 (with Paolo Giordani).
Updated versions (July 2007) of
some of the routines speed up the calculations considerably.
- Programs for "New Techniques to
Extract Market Expectations from Financial Instruments,"
Journal of Monetary Economics, 40, 383-429, 1997 (with Lars E.O. Svensson).
These MatLab/Octave programs are experimental versions of the original Gauss programs.
Gauss Procedures
This section contains some of my Gauss procedures (for economics and finance).
- Programs for "Solution and Estimation
of RE Macromodels with Optimal Policy,"
European Economic Review, 43, 813-823, 1999.
These programs use my
dll-files with Lapack code for the Schur decomposition
and the generalized Schur decomposition (updated on 1 May 2003 to work with Gauss 5).

Scientific Word and MiKTeX
You can use Scientific Word (SW) 5.5 as a front end to MiKTeX 2.6 by doing the following:
- Download and install MiKTeX.
- Configure SW (User Setup-Files) to open LaTeX files and save files as "Portable LaTeX."
- Configure SW to use MiKTeX for compiling the TeX code and showing the dvi file.
Go to Typeset-Expert Settings-DVI Format Settings and change to MiKTeX
(set path to D:/miktex/miktex/bin/texify.exe or wherever texify.exe is found), with
%x --max-iterations=1 %f as command line. Tick the box "Run in new command
console." Leave "Tex format file" blank.
Then, change Previewer to Yap (set path to D:/miktex/miktex/bin/yap.exe), with
%x --single-instance %f as command line. Use by clicking Typeset-Preview.
- Configure SW to use MiKTeX for creating pdf files. Go to Typeset-Expert Settings-PDF Format Settings and change to pdftex.
Do as for the DVI format settings, except that the command line should be
%x -p "%f". This will create the pdf file, but not display it, so you need to open it manually.
Unfortunately, it is not easy (but possible) to get SW to both create and show the pdf file, so this is a second-best solution.
(The best solution is make SW call on a cmd file instead, which will both create and show the pdf file.)
- SW tends to insert its own tcilatex macros in case you have not included the
\usepackage{} that your code needs (...or Scientific Word thinks that it needs).
If so, the file cannot be processed by MiKTeX. To avoid this, create your tex file from
inside Scientific Workplace (File-New). Then, use File-Import Contents to edit material from
non-SW tex files.
- The best way to print is through the dvi previewer (Yap) or Acrobat.
