Overview
- This note is a user’s manual for the DIGNAR-19 toolkit, an application aimed at facilitating the use of the DIGNAR-19 model by economists with no to little knowledge of Matlab and Dynare via a user-friendly Excel-based interface.
- The toolkit translates the contents of an Excel input file into instructions for Matlab/Dynare programs. These programs are executed behind the scenes. Outputs are saved in a separate Excel file and can also be visualized in customizable charts.
Toolkit components
- The toolkit comprises three tools:
- the simulation tool
- the graphing tool
- the realism tool
- These tools convert Excel inputs into Matlab/Dynare instructions and return results in Excel and customizable charts.
Functionality and user scope
- Target users: economists with no to little knowledge of Matlab and Dynare.
- Interface: Excel-based, user-friendly.
- Execution: Matlab/Dynare programs run behind the scenes; outputs saved in a separate Excel file and visualized in charts.
