@@ -1166,6 +1166,20 @@ are supposed to be decided one period ahead of all other endogenous

For

they
are
supposed
to
follow
a
``

convention
.
Note

even
when
the

using
the

code

command
.
Thus
,
when
plotting
,
computing
or
simulating
variables
,
Dynare
will
follow
the
convention
to
use
variables
that
are
decided
in
the
current
period
.
For
example
,
when
generating
impulse
response
functions
for
capital
,
Dynare
will
plot
@
code
{
k
},
which
is
the
capital
stock
decided
upon
by
investment
today
(
and
which
will
be
used
in
tomorrow
's production function).
This is the reason that capital is shown to be moving on impact, because
it is @code{k} and not the predetermined @code{k(-1)} that is displayed.
It is important to remember that this also affects simulated time
series and output from smoother routines for predetermined variables.
Compared to non-predetermined variables they might otherwise appear
to be falsely shifted to the future by one period.
