* DynaMo
DynaMo (version 2.0) is the latest version of DynaMo. In particular, this version contains is a menu driven Windows stand-alone application with advanced graphical user interfaces which allows you to solve and analyze selected standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models. You do not need any programming skills nor any installation of e.g. MATLAB. Two applications are provided. First, the Hansen Real Business Cycle model for the analysis of the implications of technology shocks on aggregate fluctuations. Second, a  DSGE model for the analysis of the macroeconomic consequences of tax and public spending changes.

The application is a compiled version of Harald Uhlig's Toolkit files for MATLAB. However version 2.0 does not allow you to implement your own models. If you like to do so, please refer to the Toolkit webpage.

Analyzing selected Dynamic Models without MATLAB - DynaMo is the right application for you.

HansenDynaMo

This application provides the Hansen Real Business Cycle Model as a Windows stand-alone application with advanced graphical user interfaces. It allows you to study the implications of technology shocks on aggregate fluctuations. For a documentation of the Hansen model see this pdf-file.

HansenDynaMo in two steps:

1. Download the HansenDynaMo program on your computer. 

         HansenDynaMo_Setup.exe

After a double-click you will be guided through the installation.

2. Start the application from your desktop or go to Start -> Programs -> HansenDynaMo. Dependent on the performance of your computer, it could take some time until the game starts.

 
Toolkit-Code

Those who are interested in the original Toolkit code of the Hansen Real Business Cycle model can download it here (The ZIP file contains the .m files of the model. See run_hansenrbc_readme.txt  for a description how to use these files). Note that you need MATLAB to execute these files.

Minister of Finance DynaMo

This program provides a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model for the analysis of fiscal policy. In particular, a menu driven Windows stand-alone application allows you to study the macroeconomic consequences of tax and public spending changes. For a documentation of the model see this pdf-file.

Minister of Finance DynaMo in two steps:

1. Download the Minister of Finance DynaMo program on your computer. 

         FinanceministerDynaMo.exe

After a double-click you will be guided through the installation.

2. Start the application from your desktop or go to Start -> programs -> Minister of Finance DynaMo. Dependent on the performance of your computer, it could take some time until the game starts.
