Hints for MATLAB-Users:
In order to run the programs for the stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models of Chapters 4 and 5 (e.g., Ch4rbc1.mod), you need to install DYNARE (freely downloadable):
http://www.dynare.org/documentation-and-support/quick-start
In order to start the program, change the path in Matlab to the directory containing the files and type:
dynare Ch4rbc1.mod
