Fixes around histval and loglinear
- Allow using
histval
to set initial condition for Kalman filter - Improve compatibility of
loglinear
withforecast
andconditional_forecast
-commands (also improves documentation) - Expands respective integration tests
NB:
- Design philosophy: the
histval
-block specification should be independent of whetherloglinear
is used or not (as is the case with e.g.initval
orsteady_state_model
). This requires Dynare taking the log automatically when required. This clashes withconditional_forecast_path
-block, where the specified controlled values are never transformed. - These changes do not affect the
ramsey
-command, which seems to in principle allow forloglinear
andhistval
. Should we try to make it compatible or provide an error?
